DescriptionSecretary's In Letters: from John William SALTER, Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, London, 28 Feb 1857. Re: Suggests new title for his paper "On surface markings and annelide burrows in the Cambrian Rocks of the Longmynd, no.2" [QJGS, vol 13 (1857), pp199-206]; asks if he can include an illustrated plate and that wood, unless expensively engraved, will not do the marks and suncracks justice; thinks no such other marks will be found in a long time and it will be a missed opportunity.
Administrative HistorySalter originally trained as a natural history artist. The plate appeared as a lithograph in the published paper.
