Jermyn's geological work while aBurdett-Coutts Scholar has not been examinedbut this may well explain the origin of muchof the donaiions of 1895-1900 to TrinityCollege, Glenalmond. However,the dates ofthe donation have a possible doublesignificance. First Edmund's two children,E.A. Jermyn (1881-1908) and L.A.S. Jermyn(1886-f1.1955). were then attending theCollege (1893-.l900 and 1897-1905 respectively;Quinton 1955) and this alone may explain howthe Jermyn collection came to be doiated.On the other hand,Edmundts father, HughWilloughby Jermyn (1820-1903) (for whom seeBarker and Stenning 1928, vol.1, p.516; Venn1947, p.569) was Primate of Scotland,1886-1901, and would have had closeconnections with Glenalmond, the 'official'episcopalian college for Scotland. H.W.Jermyn had been Rector of Nettlecombe inSomerset, 1858-1870, while his son wasstudying geology at Oxford, and this mayexplain the origin of the nearly completeSomerset ichthyosaur donated in 1900. Ifmaterial from the father's collection wasincluded it would be worth investigating ifthis Jermyn collection could also haveincluded material from earlier members of thefamily whose relations are shown below:IPeter Jermyn(solicitor of Halesworth, Suffolk)IIPeter (dates?) Henry (1787-1820)IGeorge Bitton (1789-1857)IHugh Willoughby (1820-1903)IEdmund (1845-1925)Henry Jermyn above of Sibton Abbey, Suffolk,Edmund's great-grand-uncle, was a subscriberto William Smith's (1769-1839) greatgeological map of 1815 and a personal friendof Smith from about 1813 (Phillips 1844,p.73). His collections of Suffolkantiquities came to the British Museum (Venn1941, p.569) so it is at least possible hewas also a collector in the field of geology.'Barker, G.F.R. and Stenning, A.H. 1928.The Record of Old Westminsters, 2 vols.Chiswick Press, London.Pengelly, H. 1891.
