| Title | Referee's report by Thomas George Bond Howes, on a paper 'Extinct Mammalia from Madagascar. I. Megaladapis insignis sp. n.' by Charles Immanuel Forsyth Major |
| Date | 16 March 1900 |
| Description | Sectional committee: Zoology
Recommended for publication in full, subject to the editorship suggested herewith. A plate 'according to sketch' is indispensible' [no sketch is attached]. The discovery of so gigantic a Lemur is a fact as interesting as unexpected. There lives no more gifted or accurate a vertebrate paleontologist than the author. Includes a list of nine corrections, additions and suggestions with reference to the page and line of the original paper.
[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1900].
