By  the  death  of  the  Rev.  Augustin  Ley  our  Club  has 
this  year  suffered  a  loss  that  will  long  be  very  keenly  felt. 
We  are  indebted  to  the  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton,  who  knew  him 
so  well,  for  the  following  sketch  of  his  life ;  and  to 
those  members  who  have  helped  to  defray  the  cost  of 
reproducing  the  photo,  taken  in  1878 — when  he  was 
commencing  his  botanical  work — and  Mr.  Hunnybun’s 
drawing  of  Fumaria  major. 
Mr.  C.  E.  Salmon  has  very  kindly  undertaken  to  act 
as  general  Referee. 
GEORGE  GOODE, 
November ,  1911.  Hon.  Sec.  and  Editor. 
We  have  to  lament  the  loss  of  a  valued  Referee,  who, 
though  not  a  regular  member  of  our  club,  has  been  for 
some  years  the  largest  contributor. 
Augustin  Ley,  who  died  on  the  2 3rd  of  April  last,  aged 
69,  was  born  at  Hereford,  the  3rd  of  April,  1842.  His  father, 
the  Rev.  W.  H.  Ley,  moved  to  Sellack  Vicarage  the  same 
year,  and  in  that  beautiful  home  by  the  Wye  his  two  boys 
acquired  under  his  tuition  not  only  sound  scholarship,  but 
a  good  grounding  in  Natural  History.  At  Oxford  the 
younger  son,  Augustin,  took  a  first  class  in  Classical  Mods., 
and  a  second  in  Lit  Hum. ;  was  Vicar  of  St.  Weonards  in 
Herefordshire,  1878  to  1885  ;  assisted  his  father  as  Curate 
before  and  after,  and  succeeded  him,  on  his  death,  as  Vicar 
of  Sellack  and  King’s  Capel  in  1887,
