from the Passage-beds, Ledbury, presented by Mr. George H. Piper 

 in 1889. 



Mr. Piper was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of 

 London in 1874, but bis numerous scientific papers will mostly 

 be found in the Transactions of the Woolhope Club. 



He was for many years local Hon. Secretary of the Eoyal Agri- 

 cultural Benevolent Institution, and took a deep interest in all matters 

 relating to agriculture, and especially the cultivation of fruit and 

 of roses. 



He largely assisted in the publication of " The Herefordshire 

 Pomona," and was with the late Dr. Bull selected to visit Normandy 

 to inquire into the subject of fruit-culture there and to exhibit 

 Herefordshire fruit. These gentlemen returned with several prizes 

 awarded at the Eouen Exhibition for fruit grown in their own 

 county. 



It would be impossible here to convey a just idea of the large and 

 varied fields of scientific activity and social benevolence to which 

 Mr. George Piper devoted his long and useful life ; but the testimony 

 of respect shown for him by his fellow-townsmen of all classes at 

 his funeral might be cited as good evidence that he had not lived 

 in vain. He was not only highly accomplished in many literary 

 and scientific fields of inquiry, but " he was known to all as a genial, 

 ujDright, and courteous gentleman, whose life was not spent for 

 himself alone, but most largely for the good of others. In him the 

 inhabitants of Ledbury and its neighbourhood have lost an able 

 lawyer and a much respected friend." (From Mr. F. Russell's speech 

 in Ledbury County Court.)
