DARWINIAN EXHIBITION IN MOSCOW

Abstract

I HAVE had the privilege of reading a series of messages cabled by Mikhail Petrov to the president of the Linnean Society in which a description is given of an exhibition now displayed in the Zoological Museum, Moscow, to illustrate phases in the life and work of Charles Darwin. The exhibition, which has been organized by Prof. Turov, director of the Museum, and his staff, is on a scale beyond anything ever attempted in Great Britain or in any other country ; in the words of M. Petrov, it “symbolizes the ever-growing cultural relations of two friendly nations who are united in a struggle against Nazi barbarism”.
