Let M be a compact n-manifold {n j> 2) with a foliated structure of co-dimension one. A leaf of such a foliation is said to be exceptional if it is nowhere dense in M, but its topology as a subset of M is not the same as its topology as an (n-1)-manifold. Reeb [2] has asked if it is possible for exceptional leaves to exist in sufficiently smooth foliations, and he showed in [2] that, under certain conditions, exceptional leaves do not exist. The author proved other theorems of this type in [3] and [4]. Here we shall answer Reeb's question by giving an example of a 3-manifold with a C foliated structure of co-dimension one in which there are exceptional leaves. Moreover, these leaves will be contained in a minimal set of the foliation.
