Paper, 'On the shoulder girdle in Ichthyosauria and Sauropterygia' by John Whitaker Hulke
Reference number: PP/20/20
Date: 1892

Description
Hulke writes: 'In a paper recently communicated to the Royal Society by Professor H G Seeley, in which is discussed “The Nature of the Shoulder Girdle and Clavicular Arch in Sauropterygia,” [see PP/19/11] the author challenges the validity of statements relating to this girdle made by me at the Anniversary Meeting of the Geological Society of London in 1883. This from so eminent a palaeoherpetologist imposed on me the task of re-examining the facts and the considerations on which were based those statements made nine years ago, and now questioned. The outcome of this enquiry I now offer to the judgement of the Royal Society.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes seven pages of coloured diagrams of bones.
