Lithograph with contemporary colouring, continental version of the wallchart produced by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the Department of Science and Art 1862. It includes elements of the fourth and fifth wallchart. The animals are numbered 1 & 2 Anoplotherium commune, 4 & 5 Megatherium, 6 & 7 Glyptodon. The reconstruction owes much to the work of Richard Owen who studied and described the pleistocene/holocene megafauna of South America which Darwin collected in Argentina during his time on the Beagle.
