page 533 note 2 The original broadsheet will be deposited in the Library of the Geological Society where there are already other documents relating to the “Father of English Geology ”, but I am indebted to Dr. F. A. Bather for the suggestion that some who are interested in the history of Geology in this country might wish to have copies. It has been ascertained that photostat copies could be made at a cost of about 2s. each, and if any who desire to have them will communicate with the writer the necessary arrangements can be made.
