ERRATA TO VOLUME I 



p. 53. Lines 11 and 19-20, for " John Hubert Barclay Galton " read " Hubert John Barclay Galton. 



p. 150. Plate LI. The long horizontal object above the mantel-mirror is an oriental pipe not 

 a lance. 



p. 161. On p. 160 we see that Tertius Galton was proposing a visit to the English Lakes, and it 

 would appear from Emma Galton's diary that this actually took place. It is not clear whether Tertius 

 Galton's serious illness occurred at Keswick in the English Lakes, or at "Keswick" the home of the 

 Gurneys near Norwich on the homeward journey. In the letter on p. 162 Galton is speaking of Keswick 

 in the Lakes, but it is not always easy in the diaries of Emma and Francis to distinguish between visits 

 to Lakeland and to the Gurneys' home. 



p. 168. Line 9. The mysterious " Missourian " of Galton's letter to his Father is very probably 

 Galton's misspelling for " Mesosaurian." Not only in his boyhood and his college days, but even to the 

 last decade of his life, Galton's spellings could be erratic. In one of his letters to me he excuses his 

 spelling by the darkness in which he is writing. It is probable therefore that he judged the spelling of 

 words by seeing them, and he may only have heard this fossil lizard spoken of, and not seen the name 

 written.
