PROFESSOR THOMAS HENRY HUXLEY (1825-95) 



One of the most distinguished of zoologists, with unsurpassed 

 gifts as a teacher and expositor. He did great service in gaining 

 a place for science in ordinary education and in popular estima- 

 tion. No one championed Evolutionism with more courage 

 and skill. 



BARON CUVIER, 1769-1832 



One of the founders of modern Comparative Anatomy. A man 

 of gigantic intellect, who came to Paris as a youth from the 

 provinces, and became the director of the higher education of 

 France and a peer of the Empire. He was opposed to Evolu- 

 tionist ideas, but he had anatomical genius.
