| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from Gideon Algernon MANTELL, Lewes, 5 April 1831. Re: congratulates Murchison on being elected President of the Geological Society, and wishes he could find a jaw of an Iguanodon during Murchison's reign; wonders when Murchison's paper on the fossil fox will be published [Murchison, R I. "On a Fossil Fox found at Œningen near Constance; with an Account of the Deposit in which it was imbedded", 'Transactions of the Geological Society of London', series 2, vol 3 (1832), pp277-290]; states that the artwork for his intended memoir on the reptiles of Sussex is complete but still has to write the text. |
