.
Choosing See also:medicine as his profession, he began his studies at University See also:College, See also:London, where he showed See also:special aptitude for See also:physiology and See also:comparative See also:anatomy and took his M.B. degree in 1851
.
He then joined the See also:Army Medical Service, and went out to the See also:Crimea as assistant-surgeon, receiving the See also:medal with four clasps
.
On his return to See also:England he became a member of the surgical See also:staff of the See also:Middlesex See also:hospital, London, and in 1861 succeeded J

.
Quekett as See also:curator of the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
.
In 1870 he also became Hunterian See also:professor, and in 1884, on the See also:death of See also:Sir See also:Richard See also:Owen, was appointed to the directorship of the Natural See also:History Museum at See also:South See also:Kensington
.
He died in London on the 1st of See also:July 1899
.
He made valuable contributions to structural See also:anthropology, See also:publishing, for example, See also:complete and accurate measurements of no less than 1300 human skulls, and as a comparative anatomist he ranked high, devoting himself especially to the study of the See also:mammalia
.
He was also a leading authority on the arrangement of museums
.
The greater See also:part of his See also:life was spent in their See also:administration, and in consequence he held very decided views as to the principles upon which their specimens should be set out
.
He insisted on the importance of distinguishing between collections intended for the use of specialists and those designed for the instruction of the See also:general public, pointing out that it was as futile to See also:present to the former a number of merely typical forms as to provide the latter with a See also:long See also:series of specimens differing only in the most See also:minute details
