The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by George Busk, on a paper 'Description of the cavern of Bruniquel, and its organic contents.—Part II. Equine remains' by Richard Owen

Reference number: RR/6/207

Date: 18 April 1869

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. However, the recommendation is hesitating, as the paper does not add much of material value to the subject. Refers to work by Rutimeger [?]. Suggests some of the specimens used are not illustrative of the species named. Refers to work of Pierre Toussaint Marcel de Serres de Mesplès.

Subject: Zoology, Palaeontology, Geology

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London']
