Letter from William Carmichael McIntosh, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'On the structure of Magelona' by William Carmichael McIntosh

Reference number: RR/8/49

Date: 24 April 1877

Description

Should have mentioned that the Magelona discussed can be compared extensively with other animals of similar habits. The problems referred to by the referee could be overcome by dealing less with the organism and looking for at the entire group. The number of plates can easily be reduced.
