The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by John Walter Gregory, on a paper 'On Onychester, a Carboniferous brittle-star' by Igerna Brünhilda Johnson Sollas

Reference number: RR/19/128

Date: December 1912

Description

Sectional Committee: Geology

No clear statement regarding publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper is a valuable description of a Palaeozoic fossil, well worthy of publication in the Transactions. However, is not sure if the paper is of high-enough standard, and may be more suited for the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, where it's size would be more useful and convenient for reference.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1914]
