| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from Henry HOLLAND, Lower Brook Street, London, Apr 1839. Re: Suggests Murchison is bold to correlate the Devonshire slates with the Old Red Sandstone but the evidence of the fossils appears to indicate an interposition between the Carboniferous and the Silurian; thinks the older geologists will find it a 'tough morsel to swallow'. |
