Harry Piers: Museum Maker

Notes from Piers Accession Book:

Scientific Name:  Skeletonized Leaf of a Tree, found (Jan 1928) pressed in a volume of the "Gazette", Halifax of 1826.  As it was actually caught in the binding of the volume, the leaf had without a doubt come from a tree at Halifax of that date (102 years ago), and therefore has an interest.

Collector (c) Donor (d):  W. T. Lindsay (d.) LeMerchant St., Halifax

Quantity:  1
