The image (removed) which previously accompanied this article is actually a carte de visite photograph of W.S. Macleay's younger cousin Sir William John Macleay. William John also had a keen interest in the natural sciences, which was encouraged by his cousin William Sharp. It was William J who inherited - and expanded - the Macleay collections, eventually donating them to Sydney University in 1888 with an accompanying endowment and for which he was knighted. For comparison see portrait busts of WJ Macleay and WS Macleay in Carlin, S. Elizabeth Bay House: A History and Guide (Sydney, Historic Houses Trust. 2000). An original of the carte de visite is held in the collection of Elizabeth Bay House. Scott E Hill (talk) 08:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
