Abstract
DR. EDGAR WILLIAM WILLETT, who died at Hartfield, Sussex, on April 12, aged seventy-two years, was a son of the late Mr. Henry Willett of Brighton, and inherited his father's interest in geology. In 1881 he explored the mammal deposit in the Purbeck Beds at Swanage, and read a paper on a jaw of Triconodon to the Geological Society. In 1901 he investigated the occurrence of glossy flint implements in a gravel pit in Savernake Park, and read a paper on the subject to the Royal Anthropological Institute.
