Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 GENERAL INTRODUCTION PROVENANCE 5 The material, which is very extensive, was assembled at various dates between August 1981 and March 1985, from Darlington's room at the Department of Botany, Oxford, and his home at South Hinksey, Oxford, through the courtesy of his widow, Mrs. Gwendolen Darlington, and of Professor P.D.A. Harvey, his stepson and literary executor. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF C.D. DARLINGTON Darlington was born in 1903, in Chorley, Lancashire, the second son of a serious- minded and hard-working family. His father was a schoolmaster until ill health obliged him to adopt a new careeras private secretary to the distinguished German chemist K.E. Markell and to move with his family to Ealing. Darlington was educated at Mercer's School, Holborn, 1912-17, St. Paul's School, 1917-20 and Wye College, Ashford, 1920- 23. In 1923 he began an association of more than thirty years with the John Innes Horticultural Institution which he entered as a 'volunteer unpaid worker', later becoming head of the Cytology Department (1937) and Director (1939). Here much of his most important work on cytology and chromosome theory was done, augmented by expeditions and work abroad and by contacts with many distinguished British, American and Russian workers in the field. In 1953 Darlington resigned from the Institution, which had removed in 1949 from its original home at Merton to a new site at Bayfordbury near Hertford, and accepted the Sherardian Professorship of Botany at Oxford. Here, in addition to the ‘routine’ work of teaching, research and publication, he took a keen interest in the Botanic Garden, created the Genetic Garden, played an active part in the acquisition of Nuneham Courtenay Arboretum, and espoused the cause of extending the teaching of genetics in particular and science in general in the University. A lasting result was the new School of Human Sciences, which he had encouraged. On retirement in 1971 Darlington remained in Oxford where he continued to study and publish extensively until his death in 1981. An account of Darlington's life and work by D. Lewis can be found in Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 29, 1983, pp.113-157, to which reference is made in some of the catalogue entries. C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION 6 The material, which fully documents all aspects of Darlington's career, is presented in the order shown in the List of Contents; additional explanatory notes accompany many of the Sections, sub-sections and individual entries in the catalogue. paragraphs aim only to draw attention to matters of particular substance or interest. The following The division into Sections, though real enough, is no more than convenient, and introduces a sense of linear development particularly artificial in the case of Darlington who interwove past and present, friendships and controversy, research and personality into Cross-references have been provided where a deliberate dialectic throughout his career. possible to link topics or correspondents between Sections, but these are no more than pointers and it remains essential to view the collection as an entity. Darlington never wrote, or at least never completed, an autobiography (see E.471 for a statement of his intention todo so). as an autobiography, seen through his diaries and jotters, the many historical accounts - published and unpublished - of episodes in his career and of friends or enemies made and cherished, or in the more extended narratives compiled for the Royal Society and other In another sense, his whole life could be seen To these must be added the innumerable comments and reflections added organisations. in manuscript and at various dates to virtually every document that passed through his hands - not excepting earlier stages of his own work and certainly not sparing letters and papers Viewed in this manner, few can have revealed themselves more received from others. fully, or more deliberately, for Darlington was among the most self-conscious of men, aware of himself as an actor in his own life, aware of the value of his work, and aware of the many interlocking factors and influences of nature and nurture, heredity and circum- stance which constituted his person andhisrole. Section A contains the greatest number of overtly autobiographical and personal Darlington's own career is more material in the form of narratives, diaries and jotters. fully documented in Sections B (John Innes) and C (Oxford) and there are relatively few honours, awards or records of public life, for Darlington was far removed from an estab- lishment figure. On the other hand, the family correspondence is of some general interest as well as illuminating several aspects of Darlington's early career. The letters and cards exchanged with his parents 1920-49 (A.169-A.195) are revealing of the seriousness, even austerity, of the Darlington family ambience and the seemingly affectionate and easy C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 7 relations between parents and son. Mrs. Darlington especially, who writes to both her sons as 'My dear old' Alfred or Cyril, has a spontaneous charm of expression as well as, when required, a forthrightness worthy of Cyril. Also in Section A are records of Darlington's extreme. care for his own publications, their progress and incorporation in an ongoing bibliography, and his lasting resentment of any tampering with them (or, as he put it, 'censorship' or 'suppression'). Section B includes material relating to Darlington's own career at the John Innes Horticultural Institution, its uneasy constitution, the move to Bayfordbury, and the problems of the organisation of a research establishment high-lighted by Darlington's departure for Oxford. There are Annual Reports and Minutes - liberally annotated - going back to the earliest days of the Institution in 1910. Section C records Darlington's career at Oxford, both in its embattled aspects of 'Oxford Reform' (C.83-C.109) and its gentler features such as the building-up of the Botanic and Genetic Gardens, and the interest in Oxford history and topography. Section D (Research) corresponds to Darlington's own description of the material and includes his own early notebooks and observations. A substantial portion (D.31-D.122) is devoted to history of science and scientists, notably William Bateson, and to N.1I. Vavilov, Russian genetics and the Lysenko controversy. This is an obvious area of overlap with other Sections such as E (Publications) and J (Correspondence) made inevitable by Darlington's own ordering of his papers which has been respected. The ‘background information’ in this Section not only chronicles the development of Darlington's thinking but also provides a useful assemblage of contemporary ideas and publications on various topics. The most substantial Section in the collection is E (Publications), which enforces respect as much for Darlington's painstaking search for fluency and elegance of expression as for his prolific output as researcher, polemicist and reviewer. The material includes scientific papers of all periods and technical range, as also the drafts and publishing history of two of the major books on evolution produced in his later years - The evolution of man and society, 1969, and The little universe of man, 1978. It is interesting to note Darlington's friendly relations with his long-term publishers, his conscientious setting and keeping of deadlines, and the attention to detail which can be seen to extend to the exact layout and colour-scheme for the dustjackets of his books. Darlington's writing methods were lavish of time and effort (his own and other people's), involving multiple drafts, mostly dated but written on confusing and diverse media such as old proofs or company reports, annotated in black, blue, red or green ink, pencil and ballpoint; these were fittingly C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 8 described as a 'palimpsest' by his publisher (E.466), but they document significant changes in substance or emphasis as well as Darlington's sense of style. There is a remarkable number of papers and writings additional to the official bibliography, and some unpublished material; these are listed in the Introduction to Section E. Section F (Lectures and broadcasts) covers a wide span of Darlington's career, including his major lectures (the Conway, Herbert Spencer, Woodhull and Gregynog Lectures) and many shorter talks. The broadcasts, often on such controversial topics as evolution, heredity, Russian genetics and the relations between politics and science, regularly elicited press comment and correspondence. Section G (Societies and organisations) is not extensive, partly because of Darlington's abrasive individualism and impatience with officialdom. There is, however, a full account of the journal Heredity founded and owned by Darlington and R.A. Fisher, and its connection with and eventual transfer to the Genetical Society (G.19-G.65) and the immense effort Darlington invested in his responsibilities as editor and reviewer. Section H (Visits and conferences) extends widely in time (1927-81) and space, including especially the formative early visits to Persia, America and Japan, the Klampenborg meeting in 1938 and various International Genetics Conferences in which Russian colleagues were involved, or forbidden tobe involved. There are also records of the International Chromosome Conferences which Darlington considered as one of his most important tasks at Oxford. The first three of these were held in Oxford in 1964, 1967 and 1970, as was the last which Darlington attended in 1980. Section J (Correspondence) contains some extended exchanges with colleagues over a period of time (e.g. J.B.S. Haldane, J.S. Huxley, E.K. Janaki~Ammal, P.C.Koller, H.J. Muller). Most, however, are relatively brief, but embellished with notes and comments often of scientific, historical or personal interest. These may be co-terminous with receipt of the letter or document, or added later when Darlington went through many of his papers with autobiographical or archival purposes in mind. C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 LOCATIONS OF FURTHER MATERIAL ? Some records of Darlington's career, and taped interviews conducted by B.J. Harrison, Y P are held at the John Innes Institute. At the time of his death, Darlington was working on a book, A diagram of evolution, for publication by Oxford University Press; correspondence, notes and a partial draft are currently held by his literary executor, P.D.A. Harvey. A little correspondence is retained in family hands. The war memoirs of Alfred Darlington (brother) are deposited in the Imperial War Museum, London. The papers of John Harvey (cousin) which include further correspondence of the Darlington family, particularly in the period 1895-1912, are deposited at the Royal Institute of British Architects, London. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Weare grateful to Mrs. G. Darlington and to Professor P.D.A. Harvey for making the material available and for providing some information, in particular about the family correspondence, and for their comments on the draft catalogue. We thank Dr. O.F. Darlington for making available his family letters. Sincere thanks are due to Mrs. J.R. Knowles (Radcliffe College Archivist) who did much of the preliminary sorting during sabbatical leave in Oxford. As always, we thank Mrs. M.M. Edwards for typing various drafts of the catalogue. C.D.

(Sir Daniel) Hall in 1939, Director. He resigned in 1953 on his appointment as Sherardian Professor of Botany at Oxford. It was at the Institution that much of his crucial work on cytology and chromosome theory was carried out and that manyof his deepest professional contacts were made; these included W.C.F. Newton, J.B.S. Haldane, A.D. Hall and others on the staff of the Institution, and a series of distinguished British and foreign, including Russian, visitors (see Memoir, pp.118-119). WhenDarlington became Director, the Institution still occupied its original site at Merton (London) and suffered bomb damage as well as loss of charitable income during the Second World War. Some of the efforts to find a new site are documented at, e.g., B.26-B.29, B.34, B.37; eventually the Institution moved to Bayfordbury, near Hertford, in 1949. Its next move, in 1967, was part of a major re-organisation which incorporated some of its Departments into the University of East Anglia at Norwich. The administration of the Institution in Darlington's time was uneasy and the Director's position in many ways anomalous. The Council included the Trustees of the John Innes Charity, and representatives of government, the universities and horticultural and farming interests. The Director attended Council meetings by invitation to present his reports but was not a member of it and saw its Minutes by courtesy, not of right. For a temperament as impatient of authority as Darlington's, this was particularly irksome; with other colleagues he made representations to Council for a change in conditions in 1936 (B.19- B.21) and wrote several memoranda at and after his resignation (B.48, B.52-B.54) as C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 27 John Innes Horticultural Institution well as incorporating his views into various historical accounts (B.49, B.50) to which he continued to add to the end of his life (see especially B.78). The move to Norwich and the link with East Anglia also aroused his displeasure and his campaigning zeal (B.55- B.73). |The Annual Reports and Minutes at B.80-B.92 are of interest for the underscorings and background comments, contemporary and retrospective, which Darlington freely bestowed on them. Material relating to this long and important stage in Darlington's careeris also to be found elsewhere in the collection: his own research and the history of science and scientists in Section D, expeditions, visits and conferences in Section H, correspondence with colleagues in Section J. There are abundant references to the Institution and its personnel in the autobiographical writings, diaries and jotters in Section A. A note on nomenclature The title ‘John Innes Horticultural Institution’ has been adopted as the heading for this Section, as being the original name and that operating throughout the period of Darlington's active connection with the place. The official name was changed to ‘John Innes Institute’ from 1960; in practice, written and spoken usage was '(the) John Innes’ and this shortened form is used in the catalogue entries. C.D.

B.52-B.54 Correspondence, memoranda, drafts and report on the organisation of John Innes, submitted by Darlington to N.M.V. Rothschild and to the Agricultural Research Council, 1955-56. The material is in part a development of Darlington's memorandum of 1953 (B.48) and in part an expansion of views he expressed in an article 'Government Sponsored Research in Britain’ (Science and Freedom, April 1955). Rothschild took particular exception to Darlington's reference to 'the business interests of those controlling research in the Agricultural Research Council’.

Ms. and typescript drafts for correspondence with Rothschild and memorandum to ARC (January 1956). B.55-B.73 Correspondence and papers on the move to Norwich, 1965-67. The move from Bayfordbury to Norwich, first proposed in 1962, agreed by the Council in June 1965 and achieved in 1967, aroused dismay and protest from past and present staff members, scientists in the genetical and biological fields and others. The protest movement came to a head in 1965-66. Darlington played a prominent part, writing letters to the national and specialist press, mobilising support from colleagues, learned societies such as the Genetical Society and the Royal Society, and from the Memberof Parliament for Maidstone, Mr. J. Wells. Questions were asked in the House, and the role of the Charity Commissioners was challenged. Continued C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 33 John Innes Horticultural Institution The move envisaged the transfer of the Departments of Cell Biology and Genetics, with professorial status for their Heads, to the School of Biological Sciences of the University of East Anglia. Other existing Departments were to be closed, and practical horticultural and agricultural work would be carried on at a separate field station. Thus, the university connection which had once existed with London would be re-established at East Anglia, but at the cost of the truncation of the Institute's Departments, the separation of fundamental and practical research, and the end of the John Innes as an independent integrated establish- ment. Terms such as 'dismemberment', ‘dissolution’ and ‘dispersal’ are often used (and not only by Darlington) in the papers on the subject. Darlington himself saw the proposed action of the Trustees as a further manifestation of the divided responsibilities, multiple authorities and unworkable constitution of the Institute with which he had wrestled from 1936 onwards (B.19-B.21). His own contributions to the debate reflect this extra dimension as well as seconding the criticisms of others, and often refer to the memoranda he submitted in 1953 (B.48) and 1955-56 (B.41-B.54).

When he was appointed, the Botany Department was housed in a new building, inaugurated in 1951 though based on plans proposed in 1938, but its research under his predecessors Osborn and Tansley had been mainly ecological. Darlington defineshis ‘purpose at Oxford' as 'to make genetics in my own broad sense into the central framework of biology and biology itself integrated in this way into the central framework of education’. He goes on to enumerate the methods he intended to adopt towards achieving this as 'First, to teach undergraduates; secondly to appoint new staff in the department; thirdly to coordinate with other departments; fourthly, to establish through international conferences, which could be held with the greatest convenience in Oxford, the basic importance of chr.Comosome J] studies in biology which might otherwise be disregarded. Fifthly to publish books explaining my general educational goal and the means of getting there’. Of these aims, the simplest were the teaching of undergr aduates, illustrated in the carefully prepared and updated lectures (C.12-C.39) and the organisation of the chromosome conferences (see Section H). His other ambitions however drew Darlington increasingly, and not always reluctantly, into controversy with university faculty boards and administration C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Al (over new departmental appointments), with the colleges (over admissions policy and the tutorial system) and more generally with the existing departmental system which militated against the reformed curriculum and coordinated cross-disciplinary studies which he sought. Like many heads of science departments, he was involved in proposals for the reform of the ‘Oxford system', gave evidence to the Franks Commission of Inquiry and wrote publicly on the subject (C.83-C.109). He appears to have been satisfied with the increase in the number of college Fellows appointed after the Franks Commission, while remarking that ‘one of the results of course was an enormous waste of time in attending college meetings’. Darlington's attempts to extend the scope of genetics into, for example, the new School of Human Sciences reflected a change of direction or more correctly a concentration of his own research away from plant genetics towards human and social genetics. This is shown in the major publications of his later years such as the revised Genetics and man (1964), Evolution of man and society (1969), Little universe of man (1978) as well as many articles and lectures, e.g., on cousin marriage, and reviews. See Sections DandE. His attention to these topics, though by no means new in his work and specified as his fifth step in advancing the cause of genetics, contributed toa withdrawal from university and departmental affairs, and a certain measure of isolation. Darlington was a diligent Keeper of the Botanic Garden; in addition, he established a Genetic Garden and played a leading part in the acquisition of Nuneham Courtenay Arboretum (see C.67-C.82). C.D.

Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Research 56 The alphabetical arrangement by topics is for convenience only and does not reflect the chronology of Darlington's research interests. His earliest work, on plant chromosomes, is documented in the laboratory notebooks, microscope observations and notes under 'Genetics' (D.12 seq.), and his interest in eugenics is also shown to be of early date (D.6). The large component subsumed under 'Social Genetics' (D.153-D.181) indicates his later concentration on such problems as evolution, population genetics, intelligence and thelike. The material under 'History' (D.31-D.122) includes documents (some originals, some photocopies from the archives of the John Innes Institute) on William Bateson and his family, and a substantial section on the history of Soviet genetics and Western attitudes to it. Darlington was one of the leading British opponents of Lysenkoism, and a personal friend and strong supporter of Vavilov who had collaborated with Bateson in the early years of the John Innes. Darlington wrote several tributes and obituaries when newsof his friend's death was received and lived long enough to witness his rehabilitation. The Lysenko controversy illustrated divisions of opinion among British intellectuals, several of whom such as J.B.S. Haldane, J.D. Bernal and G.B. Shaw supported Lysenko's views. The background material at D.117-D.122 is a useful assemblage of contemporary pamphlets, articles and press-cuttings on the subject. Most of the 'topics' contain some notes, ideas and drafts by Darlington, and little correspondence, but a considerable proportion is his files of background information - articles, scientific papers, press-cuttings - usually kept in an envelope or stiff cover with a descriptive title now shown in inverted commas in the entries. Almost all the documents bear comments, summaries or assessments by Darlington*. They are of interest for the light they throw on the development of Darlington's views on a topic and also on general thinking at the time, whether or not this was in line with his own. They help to illustrate the formulation of his ideas and hypotheses, and the composition of some of his later work. Similar material can be found used specifically for a book at E.5/70-E.633 (Little universe of man) and at E.661-E.665 assembled for a possible sequel to it. The folders also indicate the wide range of Darlington's reading, which is further attested by the very numerous notes found in books in his study at home (D.182-D.206). ; For reasons of space, and at the request of the receiving institution, material without annotation has been discarded and, when only the title page bore a comment, that alone has been retained. C.D.

Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 78 SECTION E PUBLICATIONS _E.1 - E.710 INTRODUCTION TO SECTION E E.] —E.653 PUBLICATIONS AND DRAFTS E.654-E.675 MISCELLANEOUS AND UNPUBLISHED MATERIAL E.676-E.710 EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE AND MATERIAL In his Memoir for the Royal Society (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 29, 1983), D. Lewis writes of Darlington that 'in his view work that is not published is work not done'. The truth of this is amply demonstrated by the amount of material in the Section, which considerably exceeds the tally in the Bibliographies which Darlington himself issued periodically, the last version being that printed in the Memoir (pp. 149-157). In particular, the number of book reviews is remarkable, not so much in the early years but increasingly from 1947 when Darlington was Reviews Editor for Heredity as well as accepting many commissions from other journals; several editors thank him for his diligence in meeting deadlines, though authors of the books he reviewed were not always so pleased by his assessments of their work. Darlington's published bibliographies sectionalise his writings by subject (Chromosomes; Genetics and biology; History and biography; Education and politics; Man) and by format (Books). This system presented problems even to its originator; some papers appear under more than one heading; others, of similar content, are dispersed between several headings for no apparent reason; others again reflect Darlington's own spirit of mischief, e.g. Problems of the English apple assigned to the rubric 'Education and politics’. A chrono- logical sequence has been aimed at here. Entries may include, as well as drafts, related editorial correspondence, reviews, translation rights, letters from colleagues and members of the general reading public: the latter especially in the case of Darlington's major books on evolution, human and social genetics. The gestation of two of these (The evolution of man and society 1969 and The little universe of man 1978) can be followed through Darlington's successive drafts, his incorporation (or rejection) of suggestions by others, and the considerable amount of 'background material’ which is interesting both for the type of source and evidence drawn upon and for Darlington's marginalia, underscoring and appended notes or comments. C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Publications 79 The published work shows Darlington as a stylist of distinctive lucidity and fluency, and, in his more polemic writing, of great persuasiveness. The careful drafts and re- workings show that these qualities were achieved by time and patience. of the care he lavished on his drafts, Darlington resented intensely any further editorial Perhaps because emendations made without his consent, and was given to describing manuscripts subjected to such treatment as 'censored' or 'emasculated'. There are several examples of this in the Section. Similar insight into Darlington's masterly editorial gifts is provided. by his work for Heredity; see especially G.41. The ‘publications and drafts' at E.1-E.653 cover the whole span of Darlington's career 1923-81; even so, there remains substantial material for work planned, unpublished or not fully written up but kept in folders with descriptive titles similar to the research See the note on unpublished book A diagram of evolution in the folders in Section D.

Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Publications 106 E.285-E.312 Cousin marriage: research and publications, 1958-61 . Darlington becameinterested in the comparative fertility of cousin marriage after reading Gwen Raverat's Period Piece, a study of the Darwin family. Ina letter to the Oxford Magazine, January 1958 (E.285) he appealed to members of the University for family data on the subject; a similar appeal for information in Triangle (Sandoz journal of medical science) was noticed in The Observer and elicited a wide response. The main publication resulting from the data was 'Cousin marriage and the evolution of the breeding system in man', Heredity, 14, 1960, and there were several other shorter articles. Darlington used some of the data and information in The Evolution of Man and Society (E.402-E.492). The material is presented as follows: E.285-E.288 Correspondence E.289-E.294 Publications and drafts E.295-E.312 Data, much ofit in the form of correspondence from volunteer subjects.

Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Publications _ 6 E.402-E.492 The evolution of man and society (EMS), 1969 This massive book of over 700 pages, with 22 maps and diagrams, 44 charts and tables and 18 pedigrees, was the first of Darlington's major publications attempting a synoptic analysis of the genetics of man and society. An ‘introduction’ to his ideas had, he considered, been furnished by Genetics and man, and he envisaged two additional volumes of which only one, The little universe of man, was completed and published (1978, see E.535-E.646). The evolution of man and society had been in active prepara- tion since 1962, originally under the title 'The evolution of society’, though the origins ofits ideas went back to Darlington's Persian expedition of 1929 and his discussions with colleagues of the 1930s. The book was published by Allen and Unwin in 1969, with an American edition in 1970 and translations into most European languages and into Japanese. The correspondence with the publishers shows the care expended on what was clearly recognised as a major and highly-valued undertaking (see especially E.466). Publication was accompanied and followed by shorter articles, broadcasts and talks by Darlington and by substantial continuing correspondence from colleagues and from the general public. Critical reception was extensive, and mixed, and Darlington made the classification and discussion of the reviews into a study in itself (see E.472, E.473, E.509, E.510). The material is presented as follows: E.402-E.444 Drafts E.445-E.459 Notes and background material E.460-E.464 Shorter articles and writings on EMS E.465-E.475 Publications correspondence and reviews E.476-E.492 Correspondence preceding and following EMS C.D.

Darlington was in active touch with his publisher, Allen and Unwin, from 1974 to agree the contract and schedule for the book; see E.635 seq. The book covers little of the same historical ground as 'EMS' and occasionally uses similar material, e.g. on pedigrees, but concentrates on 'the evolutionary processes set in motion over the last 300 years’ and 'the great stream of scientific knowledge sweeping us forward into a dangerous future’. Some of the topics discussed, such as race, education, equality, population, crime, lost nothing of their inherently controversial nature under Darlington's pen, and indeed he modified several portions of the draft after suggestions from readers and advisers. The book, Darlington, though widely reviewed (E.639, E.640) made less of an impact than 'EMS'. characteristically, had long before publication begun to accumulate material either for a revision of 'LUM! or for another book on the general themes of human and social genetics (See E.631-E.633; see also E.661-E.665).

Fisher, with the intention, according to the prospectus, of introducing genetics to a wider audience ‘indeed to the whole world of Biology since the whole world of Biology needs it'. It was published by Oliver & Boyd and appeared three times a year, with articles in the fields of 'experimental breeding, cytology, statistical and biochemical genetics and evolutionary theory. New research, history, review and criticism are accepted’. (G.32). Continued C.D Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 (Cont'd. ) Societies and organisations 167 In justifying a new journal to the publisher Darlington referred to the expected revival of genetics with the end of the war, the demise of three important German and Japanese journals in the field and the ‘traditional policy’ of the Journal of Genetics 'of keeping within the narrow limits established thirty years ago, which both Professor Fisher and | regard as dangerously restrictive’ (G.28). Darlington's 1970 note for the archives of Heredity (G.53) details the difficulties he experienced in getting his papers published in the 1930s and 1940s, which encouraged him to found the new journal. See also the memoir by D. Lewis (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 29, 145). For thefirst ten years all the editing and book reviews were the responsibility of Darlington; Fisher contented himself with publishing the papers of his department in the journal. Subsequently, while Darlington continued to handle the reviews, a succession of colleagues undertook editorial responsibilities: K. Mather, 1957-64, K.R. Lewis, 1965-67, and J.L. Jinks, 1967-70. In 1962 on the death of R.A. Fisher, Darlington became the sole owner of Heredity. The journal's connection with the Genetical Society was always strong and it had from its foundation carried abstracts of papers presented at the society's conferences. It was therefore a logical step for Darlington to transfer ownership of the journal to the society in 1970. As his memorialist notes, all Darlington asked in return for this profitable gift was to receive copies of each part and supplement during his lifetime (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 29, 145). For an example of Darlington's editorial work, see the heavily-corrected paperat G.41. There are drafts and copies of reviews in Section E passim.

Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 198 SECTION J CORRESPONDENCE J.1 - J.287 INTRODUCTION TO SECTION J The material is presented as follows: J.1 -J.236 Correspondence with individuals. indexed, with a brief indication of any information of particular biographical, scientific or historical interest. In alphabetical order, dated and J.237-J.244 Shorter unindexed correspondence: exchanges of seeds, plants and specimens, reprints and publications, information and advice. J.245-J.261 'Lustige Bldtter' J.262-J.287 References and appointments. This Section comprises letters received in Darlington's box-files of correspondence, or as loose papers. Other correspondence relating to Darlington's research, departments, publications, committees has been left with the related material elsewhere in the collection. Although the correspondence includes letters from Darlington initiating or replying to correspondence, the majority of the letters are incoming only. However, many of them bear ms. notes by Darlington either for a reply or of comment on points of interest to him, or - most frequently - underlinings and marginal markings, in red and blue pencil. Even relatively trivial communications may be illumined by reflections or commentsof this kind, most of them in the characteristically pungent Darlington style. The 'Lustige Bldtter' at J.245-J.261 is Darlington's own designation of two boxes of material and of several of the documents therein, though sometimes he used the English "Fun Box' and the plain 'Mad'. The material is extremely disparate. As would be expected, it includes intentionally humorous or satiric articles, cartoons, parodies, etc. in the form either of reprints and press-cuttings of published work, or of ms. drafts perhaps intended for social occasions. The majority, however, are what appeared'lustige' to Darlington, i.e. caught his fancy or made him laugh at the time. Thus, while some of the material would probably be deemed 'cranky' by most readers (secrets of the universe, cures for physical and mental ills, visionary sects, cosmologies) others are as revealing of Darlington as of the authors. In this category would come administrative ineptitudes, ill-timed or mis-directed requests for advice on careers, manuscripts or theories, writings by some of Darlington's friends or enemies which struck an amused response from him. Much of the material can indeed be paralleled elsewhere. The parodies, cartoons and jokes are similar to those at A.138 or B.15. C.D. Darlington CSAC 106/3/85 Correspondence 199 Several of the letters and accompanying material appear to differ little from, and may emanate from the same correspondents as, those in the mainsequence. The difference is in Darlington's judgment of them, and they have therefore been kept as a separate chronological sequence 1923-80. dsl duet . J.3 Agar, U.E. Alvesalo, L. Oral facial genetics.
