Description | Harrison explains that according to the Statutes of the Royal Society, they cannot receive any paper that has not been communicated by a Fellow of the Society, who will have ascertained whether it is suitable for submission. Sheppard will therefore need a Fellow to act as communicator if he wishes his discovery to be presented as a paper to the Society.
He also points out that there is an Odontological Society of Great Britain, and they publish Transactions of the Odontological Society, containing papers on dental matters. |
