Referee report by T. H. Huxley on 'On the Distorted Skulls Found at Wroxeter (Salop), with a Mechanico-Chemical Explanation of the Distortion' by H. Johnson
bones really have lost more
animal than earthy matter,
containing as much as 76[?] per cent
of the latter - while recent human
bone contains not more than 65 per cent
Under these circumstances Dr Johnsons explanation of the
phenomena appears to me to
break down.
And with regard to the second
question raised, I do not think
the <s>paper<\s> subject, as treated by
Dr Johnson, of sufficient importance
to be dealt with in the Philosophical
Transactions
