Inventory of Gran Canaria fossil bryozoans in the Busk Collection known or believed to have come from the Charles Lyell Collection 1. Introduction Charles Lyell (1797–1875) was the leading geologist of his day.1 His work proved enormously influential to natural historians seeking to understand both the physical processes involved in the formation of geological structures, and the nature of the fossil record. The key concept of uniformitarianism – ‘the present is the key to the past’ – owes more to Lyell than to any other geologist. Among numerous other notable achievements, he was responsible for the subdivision of the Tertiary into Epochs that could be recognized largely from the proportions of extinct vs. extant species they contained. It is well known that Charles Darwin carried with him on the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle a copy of Volume 1 of Lyell’s Principles of Geology (Lyell 1830). This seminal book allowed Darwin to interpret the geology he saw in terms of gradual physical processes that have shaped the earth over the immensity of geological time; indeed, time sufficient to accommodate Darwin’s emerging belief that the diversity of life developed by the slow transmutation of species from a common ancestor, i.e.

    Institute of Advanced Insights Study CanCan ScientificScientific DiscoDiscoveveryry BeBe aa RReligiouseligious Experience?Experience? John Hedley Brooke Volume 1 2008 Number 2 ISSN 1756-2074 Institute of Advanced Study Insights About Insights Insights captures the ideas and work-in-progress of the Fellows of the Institute of Advanced Study at Durham University. Up to twenty distinguished and ‘fast-track’ Fellows reside at the IAS in any academic year. They are world-class scholars who come to Durham to participate in a variety of events around a core inter-disciplinary theme, which changes from year to year. Each theme inspires a new series of Insights, and these are listed in the inside back cover of each issue. These short papers take the form of thought experiments, summaries of research findings, theoretical statements, original reviews, and occasionally more fully worked treatises. Every fellow who visits the IAS is asked to write for this series. The Directors of the IAS – Ash Amin, Michael O’Neill, Susan J. Smith and James Stirling – also invite submissions from others involved in the themes, events and activities of the IAS. About the Institute of Advanced Study The Institute of Advanced Study, launched in October 2006 to commemorate Durham University’s 175th Anniversary, is a flagship project reaffirming the value of ideas and the public role of universities. The Institute aims to cultivate new thinking on ideas that might change the world, through unconstrained dialogue between the disciplines as well as interaction between scholars, intellectuals and public figures of world standing from a variety of backgrounds and countries. The Durham IAS is one of only a handful of comparable institutions in the world that incorporates the Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and the Humanities.

  • Life of Alfred Newton. by AFR Wollaston. I Vol., 8Vo
    WVEW5 Life of Alfred Newton. By A. F. R. Wollaston. i Vol., 8vo, pp. 332 and 5 illustrations. John Murray, London. 1921: 18s. net. ALFRED NEWTON died on June 7th, 1907, and two years later Mr. A. F, R. Wollaston, one of his old pupils, was invited to write a " Life " of the Professor. The task of searching through Newton's voluminous correspondence proved to be a work of several months, and after that Mr. Wollaston was unavoidably occupied in New Guinea for a term of years. During his absence from England—and later during the war when he gave his services to the Navy- he made attempts to induce others to complete the " Life," but without success. It so happens that I was one of those who was thus approached in Mr. Wollaston's absence, and the whole of his manuscript was unreservedly handed over to me in May 1919. A glance was enough to show me that this was no rough sketch which I was called upon to work up but that it was an unfinished picture to which only the original artist could put the finishing touches. On Mr. Wollaston*s release from his Naval duties in January 1920 I promptly approached him on the subject, and, whether my persuasion was, or was not, the final factor which induced him to resume his labours, he agreed to complete the work which he had so diligently undertaken. I mention these facts not only because I congratulate myself for being in any way responsible for Mr. Wollaston's completion of the "Life," but also because they show in what a peculiar position I now find myself when called upon to review his work.

International Bryozoology Association, Dublin, pp. viii+381. A CHRONOLOGY OF BRYOZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH 363 From Rondelet to Stockholm: four centuries of bryozoological research Patrick N. Wyse Jackson* and Mary E. Spencer Jones† *Department of Geology, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland †Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. 1. Introduction 2. Chronology of bryozoological research 1555-1965 1. Introduction This listing, which is largely a personal choice, is presented in an attempt to demonstrate the range of bryozoological research carried out in the 411 years from 1855 to 1965. It commences with the work of Rondelet who first observed bryozoans, and we have taken 1965 as a convenient year to conclude our survey as it marks the foundation of the International Bryozoology Association. This organisation is now the prime agency for the promotion of scientific and social interaction between bryozoologists who meet every three years during its international conference. 1965 is also a useful year in that it allows us to discuss the work of deceased bryozoologists and others, without venturing too far into the dangerous realm of the more recent - living scientists who might be upset or bewildered at the inclusion or exclusion of themselves or others from this listing. In a small number of cases we have strayed from this necrological course to include some living scientists, as it would be ridiculous to exclude giants of bryozoology such as Ehrhard Voigt simply because they been blessed with longevity - of life and more importantly in this context - of research on bryozoans.

  • Edward Blyth, Charles Darwin, and the Animal Trade in Nineteenth-Century India and Britain
    Journal of the History of Biology 30: 145±178, 1997. 145 c 1997 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Edward Blyth, Charles Darwin, and the Animal Trade in Nineteenth-Century India and Britain CHRISTINE BRANDON-JONES 11 York Road London SW11 3PX England Introduction Early professionals in the natural sciences found great dif®culty in establish- ing their social level and a steady income.1 The pursuit of science ± unlike other professions, such as law or medicine ± did not overcome low status, nor did it confer high status. Naturalists also differed from other professionals in that their profession did not usually generate income through fees: they required salaried employment, which in itself diminished their social standing. There was still the assumption that scientists were gentlemen of independent income. This resulted in the pitiful salaries that forced practitioners to take on more than one position, or to accept socially degrading side employment. Many naturalists, such as William Swainson, Alfred Russel Wallace, Henry Bates, John Gould, and Edward Blyth, found it necessary to supplement a scanty income with mercantile activities. Victorian society generally frowned on such activities and they could be easily held against a social marginal scien- tist on his uppers. This state of affairs led Edward Forbes to complain bitterly: ªPeople without independence have no business to meddle with science. It should never be linked with lucre.º2 This paper will illustrate the problems faced by early professional natural- ists, and the way in which they were forced to make a living, by examining the animal trading of the zoologist Edward Blyth, curator of the museum of 1 David Elliston Allen, ªThe Early Professionals in British Natural History,º in From Lin- naeus to Darwin: Commentaries on the History of Biology and Geology, ed.
