Description
If the Council believe his paper is 'unneccesary' it should be returned to him. If not, he would like to meet a lithographer from the Museum of Natural History to discuss his findings. The curator of the Sydney Museum of Natural History believes the author's finding to be 'most reliable' and trusts his interpretation of the fossils.
