336 Obituary — Caleb Barlow. 



collections wheu packed furnished upwards of 300 two-horse van 

 loads, the whole being transferred without loss or injury or a single 

 hitch. Years have, of course, been spent since then in developing, 

 mounting, and arranging the vast series of objects now exhibited, 

 many of which have been added to the collection since 1901, 

 under the present energetic and able Keeper, Dr. Arthur Smith 

 Woodward, F.R.S. 



Among the long list of specimens prepared by C. Barlow some of the 

 most notable may be enumerated : — Setting up of Scelidosaurus 

 Marrisoni, a Dinosaur from the Lias of Charmouth ; the development 

 and mounting of Omosaiirus armatus from the Kimmeridge Clay, 

 Swindon, the skeletons of Cnjptoclidus oxoniensis from the Oxfordian 

 of Peterborough and the great Cetiosaurus from the Leeds Collection, 

 the Bernissart L/uanodon from Belgium ; the modelling of the great 

 skull of Phororhachos, a giant bird from Patagonia ; the restoration of 

 the skulls of Miolania from Queensland, from Lord Howe Island, and 

 Patagonia ; the mounting of the Glyptodon and Ilylodon, and the 

 setting up a new cast of Megatheriiim from South America ; the 

 mounting of some six skeletons of Binornis from New Zealand, 

 the Dodo from Mauritius, the ^pyornh and j^igmy hippopotamus 

 from Madagascar, the Toxodon from South America, Steller's ' sea- 

 cow ' from Behring Island, the skeletons of the gigantic Irish deer, of 

 Machairodus from South America, and Triceratops prorsus from Korth 

 America, — these are but some of the many works performed by Caleb 

 Barlow during his 34 years of service to the Trustees of the British 

 Museum. Mr. Barlow has moreover prepared duplicates of many of 

 the large objects in the Museum to be sent abroad as exchanges, so 

 that his reproductions of skeletons of extinct animals exist in many 

 museums. . C. Barlow accompanied Dr. Henry Woodward to Florence 

 Court, Enniskillen, Ireland, and to Tarporley, Cheshire, to pack and 

 bring back to London Lord Enniskilien's great collection of fossil 

 fishes, and that of Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton, also to remove 

 Mr. John E. Lee's collection from Torquay, and in several other 

 similar undertakings. 



Daring his strenuous and active life-work Mr. Barlow yet found 

 leisure to acquire a correct knowledge of music. He had a good 

 tenor voice, and was for some time one of a quartette at a church in 

 Swallow Street, Piccadilly. He then became organist at Hinde Street 

 Wesleyan Chapel, Manchester Square, a post which he held for thirty 

 years. During the past five years he had been the organist at 

 Munster Park Chapel, Fulham. 



His son, Frank Oswell Barlow, succeeds to his father's post in the 

 Museum, and gives promise to equal him in skill as a formatore, 

 having studied drawing and modelling at a School of Design, and 

 been already Assistant Formatore in the Department for over eight 

 years. After a short illness, followed by an operation, Mr. Caleb 

 Barlow died on the 8th May, leaving a widow, one son, and a daughter, 

 besides numerous friends — many of whom are men of science — to 

 mourn his loss. — H. W.
