Description

Sectional Committee: Physiology

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The work is excellent, but the cost of printing would be prohibitive. Suggests the paper be printed somewhere more accessible to workers in 'morbid histology and dental science'.
