Darwin was one of 8 people appointed on February 11th 1842; 5 more names were added on June 29th. H.E. Strickland was apointed to act as reporter. This is the first appearance of the Strickland, or Stricklandian, Code or Rules. Darwin signed the report and it must be considered as one of his publications in serials, although its first appearance thus is in F1661b. The whole Committee, except William Ogilby, signed the Report on 27 June and the whole document is dated 29 June. |
