MONCRIEFF (MONCREAFF), Henry

Submitted by admin on
[Andrew entry is re-written]Portsmouth Coleopterist whose name appears on a ms (28pp) belonging to Darren Mann listing his collection.(I am grateful to Darren for providing me with a copy) Drawer numbers (up to 14), species names and numbers of specimens are given, and many rarities are included. It appears to be particularly rich in the smaller species. The name Moncrieff also appears on Coleoptera in the Hall collection at Oldham (Information from Simon Hayhow). Presumably this is the same Moncreaff who is named in the Gorham diary at Birmingham Museum and in the Janson diary at Cambridge Museum eg. August 1869, October 1871. (MD 2/04,11/09)
