Description

No clear statement regarding publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Suggests omitting much archaeological and personal details, which are more suitable for an archaeological society. Refers to work of Joseph Norman Lockyer. The paper should not be rejected on the grounds that the discussion is closed.
