OBITUARY 
L. W. WILSON (1887-1951) 
It was a shock for us to hear at the commencement of the Ipswich 
Field Meeting of the death of Leonard W. Wilson the previous Sunday 
(April 29th) while on a bird-watching trip near his home at Margate. 
1 met him first when he was a tax-inspector for the inland revenue at 
Bedford in 1936. He had a great love of the countryside, but was alwa 3 'S 
more interested in birds than flowers. He was, nevertheless, a great 
help to me in my early work on the Bedfordshire Flora, as he was to Mr. 
Francis Rose when he moved to Mai'gate in 1939. He joined our Society 
in 1947 and had attended many of our Field Meetings. He retired in 
1949 and had booked for all our meetings in 1950. He never claimed to 
be an expert botanist, but the Society meant much to him. To his 
widow and daughter we offer our deepest sympathy. 
J. G. Dony.
