death, and gives a very fine version of Harvey's face.

Mr. F. T. Day, of Saffron-Walden, has made a series of fine photographs of the Harvey Chapel and Monument, which can be had on application to him.

The portrait I have selected is the one in bust form, a fac-simile reproduction, by the admirable Armand-Durand process, of the engraving by William Faithorne, a contemporary of Harvey, and doubtless familiar with his personal appearance, founded on the Cornelius Jansen of the College of Physicians.'

My friend Mr. Scharf also mentions life-size portraits in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and at Jesus College and Caius College, Cambridge, and another, by Jansen, which belongs to Sir Henry Wilmot. The Earl of Moira has one at Donnington Park, Leicestershire, attributed to Vandyke; and there is yet another, belonging to Lady Berkeley, Cranford Lodge, Middlesex. Mr. Scharf believes that the one which was the property of Sir W. W. Wynn perished with other treasures in the fire at Wynnstay.

The fine picture in the Museum of University College, London, is certainly not a portrait of Harvey.

BARNES, October, 1878.

'Faithorne's contemporary engraving was published as a frontispiece to the English version of the work on Generation in 1653.
