Abstract
WITH the death of Dr. E. N. Miles Thomas on August 8, there passed one of the most brilliant women botanists of the century. Educated at the Mays High School (Home and Colonial School Society), she studied also at University College, London (where she was later made a fellow) and at the Imperial College of Science and Technology. Her contact with Miss Ethel Sargent, to whom she acted as research assistant (1897–1901), and with Mr. (later Prof.) A. G. Tansley was probably responsible for her life-long devotion to problems of seedling anatomy.
