100 YEARS OF ESSEX MAMMALS
Ouer the fist 18 years of the Club's life, the Essex
Mammal records were summarised by Henry Lauer and pub-
lished in the third of the Club's series of special
memoirs, in 1898.
Over a very similar period, since the foundation of the
Mammal Group in 1960, the present day Club members haue
made new surreys of Essex mammals. It is interesting to
see how the picture has changed ouer the period of the
Field Club's existence.
Deer haue prospered - when the Club was founded only
fallow deer still existed although roe had been reintroduced
to Epping Forest when Laver wrote his book. By the time of
Don Chapman's excellent survey (See Deer of Essex,
published by this Club), red and roe had recolonised and
the introduced muntjac spread into Essex. The fallow
had increased its range, only declining in Epping Forest.
Badgers were considered rare by Laver. David Scott, Bill
Page and Bob Cowlin have organised the Essex Badger survey
