118 MEMORIAL TRIBUTE 



I tlien accompanied ]Mr. Jameson to the dockyard 

 at Chatham, ascended a 74-gunship hi process of 

 building, examined the chalk section on Chatham Hill, 

 looked into the Chatham Museum, went round Fort 

 Pitt, took some i-efreshment, and proceeded in an 

 omnibus to 



The INIuseum. It is a general collection ; but the 

 most remarkable objects in it are the fossils of the chalk 

 formation. It is small, and contained in a narrow and 

 shabby-looking apartment. There is a good collection 

 of birds, so far as it goes, contained in glazed cases or 

 boxes. 



The weather continued tine. I had lost the regular 

 conveyance ; but getting into a small omnibus I pro- 

 ceeded to Gravesend, where I had not remained ten 

 minutes when an opportunity occurred of getting to 

 London, and at ten o'clock I was set down at Charing 

 Cross. So I presently got to the George Inn, supped 

 with a Cornish gentleman of very pleasing manners, 

 wrote part of my notes, and after some annoyance from a 

 drunken party bawling in an adjoining room, fell asleep. 



It may now be proper to make a general review of 

 my proceedings in London, and a prospectus of what is 

 to be done. 



I have visited : — 



Museums of the London University- 

 Anatomical Museum of King's College. 

 British Museum. 

 Museum of Zoological Society.
