106 MEMORIAL TRIBUTE 



Dr. Grant accompanied me to the London Uni- 

 versity in Gower Street. 



Saw his own collection of comparative anatomy 

 and zoology, which is contained in his lectin-e-room, and 

 although consisting of a considerable number of articles, 

 is not by any means fine, and certainly is not neatly 

 kept or weU arranged. 



The collection of materia medica is in all respects 

 excellent. 



The anatomical and pathological collection of the 

 University is in a square room of moderate size, with 

 a gallery.

The preparations are very beautiful. The heads of 

 the bottles are very neatly secured and painted in the 

 usual way. The ticketing and numbering neat. Every- 

 thing in excellent order, and cleanly. The whole has a 

 finished and beautiful appearance. 



The room containing the apparatus for the natural 

 philosophy class is also very neatly fitted up with large 

 glazed cases, and the collection is excellent. 



We went next to King's College, which forms the 

 east wing to Somerset House, but the JNIuseum was shut. 



Went then to the Geological Society, in the A'icinity. 

 Models, casts, and specimens of various kinds. The 

 principal part of the collection is arranged in presses 

 fitted up with draw^ers. There is nothing particularly 

 remarkable about them, excepting two circumstances.
