Reference number: RR/24/65

Date: November 1917

Description

Sectional Committee: Geology

No clear statement regarding publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Does not agree with the evolution, but the paper gives a good series of Palaeolithic forms. Publication of the paper depends entirely on the illustrations.
