Referee's report by Arthur Elijah Trueman, on a paper 'Upper Ordovician trilobites of zonal value in south-east Shropshire' by B B Bancroft

Reference number: RR/71/21

Date: 1948

Description

Sectional Committee: Geology

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Suggests the editor, Dr Lamont, be asked to either expand the description of Ulricholithus ulrichi, or omit it. Suggests the map should have a different heading.

Appended letter from Arthur Elijah Trueman, dated 26 September 1948, returns the paper and report. Discussed the paper with Cyril James Stubblefield, who accepts the suggestions, but has not raised these with Dr Lamont, to preserve the anonymity of the referee. Endorsed on recto as received 28 September 1948.

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