44 MEMOIR OF JOHN BARCLAY. 



formed at his own expense^ with no other aid than 

 that occasionally afforded h}'^ his pupils, it is a monu- 

 ment of zeal and energy ; although as a public 

 museum it does not contain enough of specimens to 

 illustrate the various organs of animals in the extended 

 series disclosed by modern Zoology. Taken in con- 

 nection with the preparations made by the late and 

 nresent Conservators of the Museum of the Royal 

 College of Surgeons, it affords an important aid to 

 the student of this delightful branch of science." 



In the Museum is likewise deposited a marble bust 

 of Dr. Barclay, executed by Joseph in 1825. It was 

 subscribed for by his pupils at a meeting at which Sir 

 George Ballingall acted as Chairman, and was subse- 

 quently presented by them to the College of Surgeons. 

 The inscription on the bust is to the following effect.
