Specimen Lists As has been explained by Duncan Porter in his article on 'The Beagle Collector and his Collections'1, the lists of zoological and botanical specimens collected on the Beagle by CD were entered in ink in six small notebooks, 7 by 4½ inches in size, now kept at Down House. For purposes of reference these are catalogued at the Cambridge University Library as Down House Notebooks 63.1-6. Notebooks 1-3 were used for specimens preserved in spirits in jars, and labelled with metal tags
