Abstract
THE death of the Venerable Lonsdale Ragg at the ripe age of seventy-nine years has deprived forestry and botanists in general of one who for many years had fostered by all means in his power an interest in trees. He was born in 1866, the son of a country clergyman in Shropshire, and no doubt his upbringing in that delightful county did much to influence his work in future years. His clerical career was distinguished, for he was Prebendary of Buckden in Lincoln Cathedral and had been Archdeacon of Gibraltar since 1934. He was, in fact, particularly interested in the Mediterranean countries, and in his earlier years had served in various chaplaincies in Italy and elsewhere, publishing many theological theses on the history of religion in that region.
