The Professor notes in his diary that on 

 September 14 he delivered an address to the 

 4 Ethnological Section ' of the Congress of Ori- 

 entalists, and on October 1 he presided at the 

 dinner of the St. George's Hospital Medical 

 School. In this year he wrote ' A Sketch of 

 Hunter's Scientific Character and Works,' which 

 appeared in Tom Taylor's ' Leicester Square.' 



On July 10, 1874, his old friend Sir Henry 

 Parkes wrote informing him that the Government 

 of New South Wales had voted him a sum of 

 150/., to enable him to issue in a separate form 

 his papers on the 'Fossil Mammals of Australia.' 

 The two volumes devoted to this subject appeared 

 in 1877, and consisted of collections of separate 

 copies of papers which had appeared in the publi- 

 cations of various societies, bound up, indexed, 

 and issued with a new title-page. 



At the close of this year Owen was made 

 4 Associe Etranger ' of the Academy of Medicine,
