Referee's report by Herbert Leader Hawkins, on a paper 'The phylogeny of the ammonite family liparoceratidae' by L F Spath

Reference number: RR/63/98

Date: April 1937

Description

Sectional committee: Geology

Not recommended for publication in its present form. The paper seems obscure - the styile is 'bewildering' and the arguments are 'scarcely amplified'. The first 52 paragraphs could form an interesting paper, but the views aren't clearly expressed enough yet.

[Not published].

Endorsed on verso as received 6 April 1937.
