porary — Bartholomew men. It was odd, with my 
recollections of many of them as they looked in 
1835, to find them grey and bald ; and there was 
I, with Burrows and Frederick Farre — the ddbris 
of an older set.’ 
The Professor notes in’ his diary that on 
September 14 he delivered an address to the 
‘ Ethnological Section ’ of the Congress of Ori- 
entalists, and on October i 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 
‘ Associe Etranger ’ of the Academy of Medicine, 
Paris.
