I.—On some Fossil Wood from the Lower Eocene
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The Botanical Department of the British Museum possesses amongst its collection of fossilized vegetable remains, sliced for microscopic examination, a series of specimens of wood from Herne Bay and the Isle of Thanet. These exhibit a structure which has not hitherto been properly understood, but which proves to be quite comparable with what is to be found in some recent plants.
