OBITUARY
It is with very deep regret that we
learn, just before going to press, of the
sudden death on the 23rd of September, 1973,
of Mr. S.T. Jermyn, known to everyone as
Stan.
An ardent member of the Club for many
years, Stan was one of the County's foremost
botanists; his life-work, "The Flora of Essex"
was nearing publication. His enthusiasm and
work as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Essex
Naturalists Trust were prodigious; he is going
to be missed by his very many friends.
The Essex Field Club extends most sincere
sympathies to Mrs. Jermyn and Richard in this
saddening blow.

down to it during the dark evenings of the Winter.
I hope so, for the future of the Bulletin depends
very much on the kind of material your Editor
receives.
