Referee report by T. Bell on 'On the Morphology of the Cephalous Mollusca, as Illustrated by the Anatomy of Certain Heteropoda and Pteropoda Collected during the Voyage of H.M.S. "Rattlesnake" in 1846-50' by T. H. Huxley

                                can be considered as established 
and some even which if 
not absolutely visionary,
appear to me at present 
to be irreconcileable with 
all analogy, yet the paper 
upon the whole is one of 
the highest merit and 
importance, and in my 
opinion deserves a place 
in the Philosophical Trans=

The title (in Sept 2018) of this piece begins "Referee report by P. Bell...". The report appears to be signed by "Thomas Bell", who was a zoologist well known to Huxley and Darwin (and was an FRS). I think "T Bell" is more likely correct.
