Sending some specimens of scales of the fossil Holoptychius Nobilissimus to William Kemp via WK’s brother in Hawick.
Thanks for Maclaren’s Sketch (Maclaren 1839 bibl_5120).
Has seen WK’s views on Rubers Law and commiserates with him on William Buckland’s disapproval.
David Milne (later David Milne Home) is preparing a paper on the geology of Roxburghshire. (Presumably Milne, David. 1842-3. Geological account of Roxburghshire. Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (15) 1844, pp. 433-502.)
Thanks for the publication, which he has read with pleasure and profit.
