THE LATE MISS GEORGIANA E. ORMEROD, F.E.S. 



Miss Georgiana E. Ormerod was the daughter of the late 

 George Ormerod, D.C.L., F.E.S. , of Sedbury Park, Gloucester- 

 shire ; and Tyldesley, Lancashire. She was born July 23rd, 

 1823, in London; and died at St. Albans on August 19th last, 

 aged seventy-three years. 



Educated under the superintendence of her mother, a most 

 talented woman, the deceased shared with her three younger 

 brothers in their scientific pursuits. 



Botany and conchology were the subjects in natural history 

 to which she devoted especial attention, and in the latter she 

 was well versed, inckiding careful observations of the habits of 

 such of the British species as came under her notice. On 

 removing to St. Albans, in 1887, she presented her collection, 

 then numbering approximately 3000 distinct species, to the 

 Beaumont Park Museum, Huddersfield.
