Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

My friend Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., has lately received several Palæozoic fossils for examination from the rich collection of Mrs. Robert Gray, of Edinburgh, and has, with the owner's kind permission, placed two pieces of a very remarkabte fossil in my hands, for the purpose of examination and description.
