The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by William Henry Lang, on a paper 'A petrified Williamsonia from Scotland' by Albert Charles Seward

Reference number: RR/19/120

Date: July 1912

Description

Sectional Committee: Botany

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Has not had chance to consult the literature before writing the report, and does not feel confident in offering an opinion on the theoretical portion of the paper. The description is excellent and provides an advance on previous knowledge. The description might be condensed due to the fragmentary nature of the specimen. Has seen some of the specimens on which the paper is based.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1913]
