1822. William Elford Leach was born 2nd February, 1790. He 
entered the medical profession, became m.d., f.r.s., f.l.s., &c. He 
settled in London, and died in Italy unmarried. He had three 
brothers and a sister, who all died unmarried ; and thus became 
extinct in the male line the descendants of Walter Leach and 
Margaret (Reade), his wife, who was a grandson of the Rev. John 
Leach, rector of Talland, canon of Exeter, archdeacon of Totnes, 
and at the time of his death, in May, 1613, chancellor of the 
Cathedral Church of Exeter. Dr. Leach contributed several very 
valuable papers to this Society, his specialty being entomology. 
Abstracts of some of his papers will be found in the volume of 
Transactions, 1830.

acquired much reputation, and wrote a work on the birds of Corn- 
wall and the Scilly Islands. His very fine collection of birds he 
left as an heirloom to Trebartha Hall. It is needless to say more
