JERMYN, George Bitten

Submitted by admin on
Naturalist and antiquary who founded the Swaffham Prior Natural History Society in 1834 (see Jenyns above). MacKechnie Jarvis does not mention that he had an interest in Coleoptera but he is recorded as a donor of beetles in NHM Accessions Register, I, on 7 February 1838. MacKechnie Jarvis provides a most interesting family tree showing how Jermyn was related by marriage to the Coleopterists Lady Jane Maryon-Wilson and John Power. (MD 8/03)
