This paper reconstructs aspects of the pioneering botanical expedition of Edward Ernest Galpin (1858–1941) accompanied by his wife, Marie Elizabeth Galpin (1859–1933), to the highland areas of the Eastern Cape Drakensberg in 1904. Details of the route, organization and logistics of Galpin's journey are described as well as a discursive record of his main botanical discoveries.

Three watercolour paintings by Richard Bradley, depicting plants from the East Indies and southern Africa, are described. The images of Coffea arabica (coffee) (Rubiaceae), Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) (Lauraceae) and a southern African succulent, Cylindrophyllum calamiforme (Aizoaceae), are bound into contemporary volumes now held at the British Library, London. Also included in the cinnamon watercolour are two images of Sri Lankan butterflies. This paper sets these watercolours in the context of Bradley’s other paintings and colour illustrations. These three images, hitherto unpublished, were probably painted during Bradley’s visit to Holland in 1714.

Horniman Museum and Gardens, London published a group of visitor guides and handbooks from 1904 to 1977 under the series title “Horniman Museum and Library Publications” to accompany the permanent galleries. This paper presents a bibliography for the series, which covered subjects in zoology and anthropology. The series included 16 publications. Many had multiple editions. Authors were not always identified explicitly, and attribution was assigned to the institution. This paper identifies authors and other notable contributors for each volume. The Horniman stopped assigning new publications to the series at the end of the 1930s; however, new guides and handbooks continued to be published in similar fashion. Some of those later publications asserted continuity, claiming to be new editions. Others did not. Both continuities and breaks reveal aspects of work within the museum environment as well as trends in British museum engagement with its audiences. For instance, simplification is a profound trend over successive editions.

Biological models and replicas were in their heyday in the nineteenth century when they were common in primary, elementary, secondary and higher education institutions, as they were frequently used to illustrate anatomical structures mentioned in textbooks and scientific papers. Biological models and replicas are part of the heritage of the Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto (Natural History and Science Museum, University of Oporto) offering insights into the world of these unique collections. We performed a study on the use of these industrial-made models and replicas of the internal or/and external anatomy of animals and plants that accompanied many of the practical demonstrations in comparative biology and anatomy classes at the Academia Politécnica do Porto and, later on, at the Universidade do Porto, its successor. Artisanal models and replicas were also used in biology and anthropology classes. This research on these special items helps promote their value and contributes to the dissemination of information and may be relevant to other institutions owning identical models.

The Welsh marine zoologist, Edward Emrys Watkin (1900–1978), studied the population dynamics of Cardigan Bay herring stocks in the 1920s and subsequently worked on amphipod crustaceans in the Clyde Sea Area in Scotland. His published works span a transitional period in the history of biology, when natural history was being formalized into ecology. A graduate, and a staff member, of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, for 45 years he inspired students with his teaching. His experiences as a teacher and examiner were called upon when, in 1965 and 1971, he edited and co-wrote Biology (with Herbert Tisdale Conway and John Brinley Jones), a textbook on biology for pupils seeking the General Certificate of Education (GCE) O-level qualification. However, the impact of Watkins’s book was lessened because of competition from Donald Gordon Mackean’s Introduction to biology published first in 1962.
威尔士海洋动物学家爱德华·埃姆里斯·沃特金(Edward Emrys Watkin, 1900-1978)在20世纪20年代研究了卡迪根湾鲱鱼种群的种群动态，随后在苏格兰克莱德海域研究了片脚类甲壳类动物。他发表的作品跨越了生物史上的一个过渡时期，当时自然史正被形式化为生态学。作为阿伯里斯特威斯威尔士大学学院的毕业生和教职员工，45年来，他的教学激励了学生。1965年和1971年，他与赫伯特·蒂斯代尔·康威和约翰·布林利·琼斯合编了一本《生物学》教科书，这本教科书是为寻求普通教育证书(GCE) o级资格的学生编写的。然而，由于唐纳德·戈登·麦基恩(Donald Gordon Mackean) 1962年首次出版的《生物学导论》(Introduction to biology)的竞争，沃特金斯这本书的影响力减弱了。
