Reference number: RR/5/112

Date: 15 February 1862

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The researches fill gaps in the history of English geology, such as the Miocene. Suggests checking the numbers of the figures against the numbers in the text. Suggests that the author's English, although intelligible, may need editing for clarity.
