| Title | Copy of referee's comments [by William Dickson Lang] on a paper 'Fossils of the late pre-cambrian (newer proterogoic) Adelaide series, South Australia' by Tannatt William Edgeworth David and Robin John Tillyard |
| Date | [22 June 1932] |
| Description | Paper reference code: B.30
Has examined the original rock upon which the paper is based. Argues that the authors' reconstruction is based upon supposed remains identified in several different cavities in the rock; these could not all come from a single organism and so the reconstruction cannot be considered valid. From a geological view, the evidence would be against the cavities in the rock being fossil moulds, rather than in favour of this conclusion. As such does not recommend publication.
