Description

Sectional Committee: Geology

Paper reference code: B.28

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Doubts if the report contains anything of value. Comprehensive reports will be presented in time by the author's senior colleagues, whose interpretations may be different to his. Considers the author 'scarecly competent' to deal with the subject, in comparison with his more experienced colleagues. Suggests the paper be withdrawn.
[Article would have discussed dating of the 'Oldoway Man', Hopwood published his interpretation in The Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland's journal Man, vol. 32, August 1932, pp.-192-195]
