Administrative HistoryDr. Ernest Lloyd-Jones, who was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1903, died on 16 September, 1942, at the age of seventy-nine years. From Manchester Grammar School he went to Cambridge in 1882, where, after qualifying (M.B. 1888, M.D. 1892), he practised as a physician. His early interest in geology, shown by his paper "On the Exploration of two Caves in the neighbourhood of Tenby " (Q.J.G.S. xxxviii, 1882, p.282) was retained throughout his life. His collections, chiefly from the Cambridge gravels, the Coralline Crag of Suffolk and the Cambrian of St. David's, were presented to the Sedgwick Museum. [QJGS, vol 99 (1943), p lxxxiv]
ProvenancePresented to the Society by the Mills & Reeve Francis, solicitors, executors of Miss Audrey Lloyd-Jones, daughter of Dr Ernest Lloyd-Jones, June 1989.
