| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from Henry WITHAM, Great King Street, Edinburgh, 25 May 1830. Re: thanks Murchison for sending him his memoirs, has asked his brother to give in return a short paper he has written on the fossils of the River Tweed, is engaged in having the fossils engraved for a forthcoming publication [the paper is likely to be "On the vegetable fossils found at Lennel Braes, near Coldstream, upon the banks of the River Tweed, in Berwickshire" Philosophical Magazine, vol VIII (1830)]; also sends a sample of limestone containing many minute shells, and wonders what they are and if there is an impression of a plant. |
