 voyage. 



In" the further room are Woolner's bust; a bust, 

 medallion, and miniature of the Shrewsbury statue, 

 by Horace Montfond ; and a large bronze head, by 

 \Villiam Couper, of New York, which the American 

 delegates to the Darwin centenary are presenting to 

 Christ's College. The large series of paintings, 

 photographs, and sketches "in this room represent 

 Charles Darwin from the age of four to old age, and 

 include Pelligrini's Vanity Fair cartoon of the 

 naturalist in his high chair, similar to the one 

 exhibited. Manuscripts, letters, copies of first editions, 

 with Darwin's own notes, and medals and diplomas 

 awarded to him, are present in great numbers, as also 

 are many pictures of Down, Charles Darwin's home. 



By the kindness of Mr. Francis Darwin, Charles 

 Darwin's library was on view at the Botany School 

 during the celebration. A few of the most interesting 

 volumes were displayed in the Botanical Museum. 

 The rock-specimens collected by Charles Darwin 

 during the voyage of the Beagle were exhibited in the 

 Sedgwick Museum, and the librarian of the Uni- 

 versity Librarv arranged an exhibition of MSS. and 

 books' illustrating the progress of scientific study.
