This was the first time that physicists, chemists and biologists collaborated with expert navigators to map the sea.

They sounded the ocean bottom to a depth of 26,850 feet, discovered 715 new genera and 4,717 new species of ocean life forms, including many deep-sea specimens. Among their discoveries were many of the fish and marine creatures thought at that time to be of legend. Numerous specimens from the voyage are on view in one of the largest collections in the Natural History Museum. This fifty volume, 29,500-page report took twenty-three years to compile and publish. It includes many observations of other natural history subjects including faunae of the countries visited. The following is a selection of some of the papers included in the volumes: Birds, by P.L.

*Philipot Pedigree Roll - Capel Family of Cassiobury House. The Series, and Genealogie of the Auntient and Illustrious Family of the Capells; as likewise an [Ex]act Survey of the severall Branches, and Descents, of that Eminent, and Conspicuous Family of [the] Morison's of Caishbery [Cassiobury, Watford] in the Countye of Hertford, till the Heire Generall became united with the Capells: w[ith t]heire Severall Matches, interchangeablye made with divers of the most noble, and flourisheing Familye in [t]his Kingdome; All which, faithfully agree, and comply with the publicke Records, and Registers, [pr]eserved in the Office of Armes, and else-where. Diligently collected by John Philipott Esq: Somersett Herauld of Armes to his late Maiestye, circa 1640-1780, a very long manuscript pedigree roll on 12 membranes covering the period circa 1485-1775, arranged in 13 rows, a total of 124 hand-painted coats in gold, silver, red, blue, black and green, some featuring lions rampant, with 197 roundels (50 surmounted by hand-painted crowns or caps), the text giving details of births, deaths and marriages and sometimes referring to Weever [Ancient Funerall Monuments, 1631] and Vincent [A Discoverie of Errours in the First Edition of the Catalogue of Nobility, 1622], dust-soiling throughout, some heavy water stains including vertical streaks to left hand side and a dark tide mark at foot running across final row of roundels and coats, all with little loss of legibility or sense, overall 327 x 118 cm (131 x 47 ins), modern wooden batten at head and foot, verso blank A rare and important Philipot pedigree roll, apparently compiled in three sections: 1) The text of the title appears to be written in a mid-17th century hand (clubbed ascenders and descenders) and after 1649 (it refers to 'his late Maiestye'), but probably before the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. 2) The upper half of the pedigree down to the roundels below the seventh row of shields is likely to have been set down before 1660 because it shows the Baron's cap above the roundel for Arthur Lord Capell. After 1660 Charles II introduced the Baron's coronet (used in the lower half of the pedigree). The Baron's cap clearly shows the red velvet cap guarded with miniver, whereas the lower part uses gold circlets topped with four pearls. It is noted that Arthur Lord Capell was created a Baron in 1640 but there is no mention of the death (by beheading) in 1643. The upper half of the pedigree would therefore appear to have been compiled by Philipot and/or his assistants in the early 1640s. It is possible the pedigree ended here (temporarily), with the intention of finishing it off with the issue and an Achievement, but which was overtaken by the tumultuous events of the time and the death of John Philipot in obscurity in 1645 following his capture by Parliamentarians earlier in the year. Indeed, after the surrender of the garrison at Oxford he had the hard fortune to be plundered of his papers including pedigrees. 3) Based on handwriting, the lower half of the pedigree would appear to have been completed over a period of time from the earlier 18th century (the old calendar is used) up until around 1780, the last textual date being 1775. The distinctions between the upper half and the lower half are various: the silver paint is tarnished in the top half and absent from the lower half; the gold, red and blue are slightly different; matches in all rows up to row 7 are painted in blue and absent below. In the upper half the lions are leaner and with different tails; the crosses crosslet fitchy are better designs and shaded; the top corners of the shields are constructed differently and there are ornate devices and flourishes to some shields and descenders; the earl's coronet is different and the female coats are shown in different form in the two halves, appearing as half the shield in the upper half and as separate lozenges in the lower half. John Philipot or Philipott was born at Folkestone, Kent, the son of Henry Philpott, between 1587 and 1592. In later years he chose to add an 'i' to his surname. Philipot was appointed pursuivant-of-arms extraordinary, with the title of Blanch Lion, in October 1618, and in November of that year was created Rouge Dragon pursuivant-in-ordinary. His work brought him into contact with William Camden, who often nominated him as his deputy or marshall when carrying out visitations. In 1624 Philipott was created Somerset herald. During the civil war he served with king, and was created D.C.L. at Oxford in 1643. He died at London, and was buried on 25 November 1645. The Capel family owned the Cassiobury estate from the early 16th century until it was sold in 1922. Arthur Capel (1608-1649) inherited the estate via his wife, Elizabeth, the only surviving child of Sir Charles Morison, in 1628. However the Capels were already established at their Suffolk estate, Hadham Hall, and so didn't move to Cassiobury. With Arthur's death, the Cassiobury estate was sequestered and Elizabeth Capel lived at Hadham until the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. The estates were restored to the family and Arthur (1631-1683), the eldest son and heir was awarded the titles, Viscount Malden and Earl of Essex. In 1668 Arthur moved the family from Hadham Hall to Cassiobury whilst he developed his political career which included a spell as Ambassador to Denmark. (1)
