Description

The plan for publication suits the authors. They have another meeting with the Linnean Society on the 30th when the matter could be decided. The paper on Pyrocystis would be authored by Vernon Herbert Blackman, and the other by Frances G Whitting and George Robert Milne Murray. Some new information and observations have been made, and if he could borrow the manuscript for a few days, could update it for the Linnean Society. Vernon Herbert Blackman would like to add an introduction to his part of the paper.
