Catalogue of the Osteological Portions of Specimens Contained in the Anatomical Museum of the University of Cambridge (Cambridge Library Collection - Life Sciences)

CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of enduring scholarly value

Darwin Two hundred years after his birth and 150 years after the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’, Charles Darwin and his theories are still the focus of worldwide attention. This series offers not only works by Darwin, but also the writings of his mentors in Cambridge and elsewhere, and a survey of the impassioned scientific, philosophical and theological debates sparked by his ‘dangerous idea’.

Catalogue of the Osteological Portions of Specimens Contained in the Anatomical Museum of the University of Cambridge William Clark was Professor of Anatomy at Cambridge for nearly 50 years, collecting many specimens of bones for use in the study of comparative anatomy, physiology and osteology. These formed a principal part of the collection that eventually became the university’s Museum of Zoology. He wished to support students of natural sciences in acquiring knowledge from direct observation of well arranged and accurately identified specimens. The 1289 items, catalogued in 1862, include 128 from humans of varying races and dates. These include masks of the faces of Isaac Newton, William Pitt and Benjamin Franklin. This focus reflects, in part, the nineteenth-century fascination with phrenology. A regular participant in the influential Cambridge Philosophical Society, in May 1860 William Clark made there what Darwin perceived to be a “savage onslaught” on his recently published Origin of Species. This book reveals Clark’s very different approach to studying the tree of life.

Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of out-ofprint titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be reprinted economically using traditional technology. The Cambridge Library Collection extends this activity to a wider range of books which are still of importance to researchers and professionals, either for the source material they contain, or as landmarks in the history of their academic discipline. Drawing from the world-renowned collections in the Cambridge University Library, and guided by the advice of experts in each subject area, Cambridge University Press is using state-of-the-art scanning machines in its own Printing House to capture the content of each book selected for inclusion. The files are processed to give a consistently clear, crisp image, and the books finished to the high quality standard for which the Press is recognised around the world. The latest print-on-demand technology ensures that the books will remain available indefinitely, and that orders for single or multiple copies can quickly be supplied. The Cambridge Library Collection will bring back to life books of enduring scholarly value across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and in science and technology.

Catalogue records the Osteological Specimens in the possession of the University. I have also included in it some Birds and Mammals stuffed, and some Fishes and Reptiles in spirit, because I think that it may frequently be advantageous to students, for whom this collection is chiefly designed, to have an opportunity of comparing the external characters of any groups in which they may be interested with the osteological. This is a plan which has been followed with success in several Continental Museums, especially in that of the University of Pavia. As the value of such a collection as this depends in a great measure on the accuracy with which the specimens are named, I have never appended a specific name without due authority for it, and have preferred, in doubtful cases, to append the generic name alone. Whenever I found a difficulty in determining a specimen from descriptions, I took it to the British Museum, for comparison with a series of great extent and of different ages. I take this opportunity of thanking Professor Owen and Mr Gerrard for their great kindness in devoting many hours of their valuable time to the identification of the specimens shown to them. THIS

PBEFACE.

A few remarks on the history of the Osteological Collection will not be inappropriate. It originated in the private Museum of Sir Busick Harwood, Professor of Anatomy from 1785 to 1814, which the University purchased on his death. His specimens are not numerous, for his lectures were principally physiological. They are marked " Harwood collection." In 1830 the University purchased a considerable part of the Museum of Joshua Brookes, Esq. Of this the osteological specimens are marked " Brookes collection." In 1832 the collections were removed to the present buildings, and in 1836 the University purchased the whole of the valuable collection of Dr Macartney, Professor of Anatomy in Trinity College, Dublin. His specimens are marked " Macartney collection." In 1853 I purchased in Paris of M. Dumoutier, who had accompanied the naturalists MM. Quoy and Gaimard on board the French frigate Astrolabe, which was absent in the Antarctic Seas on a scientific expedition from 1826—1829, a number of specimens, chiefly of the Seal tribe, collected by himself. These are marked [French Exp.]. In 1856 I had the pleasure of increasing the Collection by adding to it the osteological collection of Professor Bell, F.RS., etc., etc., by which every order of Vertebrata is more adequately represented, and especially that of the Keptiles, amongst which is that valuable collection he had formed for the illustration of his work on the " Testudinata." His specimens are marked " Bell collection." During the last two years the Collection has been entirely rearranged, the specimens already forming part of it cleaned, and in many cases rearticulated, numerous additions made, and the whole disposed in such a manner as to render it as

accessible as our limited space will allow, for purposes of study. This it is hoped will be further facilitated by the publication of the Catalogue, which will also serve as a guide to persons desirous of adding to the collection by their own exertions or by purchase. It is worthy of remark, that as long as the very limited collection was deposited in the small dark room opposite Queens' College, where it remained till 1832, there was little inducement for either the Professor or any one else to add to it, as the specimens could not be exhibited. From the time of its removal to the present building until now it has steadily increased in the way above recorded, and by private donations. Now, however, a time has come when the old state of things is renewed, upon a larger scale it is true, and in a way less likely to attract notice, but still equally pernicious to the interests of Science. The space has become so inadequate that no further additions can be made, nor can several large skeletons, at present stowed in boxes, be exhibited at all. The University, for instance, possesses at the present time a Whale, purchased by subscription in 1850, an Eland, a Zebu Bull, a Red Deer, and a large species of Delphinus, not to mention a vast number of separate bones and smaller skeletons, which cannot be displayed even in fragments. Nor, supposing us willing to forego the display of these, and the acquisition of desiderata to fill up the lacunce in the collection (for many orders, especially the Fish, are very inadequately represented), should we be blind to the fact that the Museum is now so crowded that it is difficult to have access to the skeletons; and that those persons who proceed to their degree in the Natural Sciences Tripos are thereby discouraged, and acquire the barely requisite amount of knowledge to enable them to satisfy the Examiners at secondhand from books, instead of from the actual specimens.

PREFACE.

I cannot let this opportunity pass without tendering my thanks to Dr Drosier of Caius College, for his great kindness in assisting me in my lectures, when prevented by ill health from delivering them myself, and for the very beautiful skeletons of Birds, articulated by himself with great skill, with which he has enriched the Museum. The Catalogue, has been made, under my direction, by my son, who has also arranged the Collection, and articulated most of the recent additions. It is hoped that the Catalogue of the Physiological Series of Specimens will shortly follow. WILLIAM CLAEK.

This skull has a marked development of the cranial cavity, also a marked post-orbital process on the frontal bones as well as an anterior on the superior maxillary bones. The two halves of the frontal bone unite to form an entering angle between the nasals, which is contrary to what is seen in the other specimens in this Museum, in which the united nasal bones form an acute angle which is received between the produced parts of the frontal bone. The inferior orbital process is formed entirely on the malar bone. The palate bones terminate behind by a round edge. This remarkable skull suits Cystophora more nearly than any other known genus, except in the number of its molar teeth and the great width of its cranial cavity. Its dental formula is the same as in Otaria. (Bell collection.) Presented by Prof. Clark. Family XXXIII.
