  <dc:title>Letter from Thomas Wharton Jones, Isle of Wight, to the President and Council of the Royal Society</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Jones refers to the obituary notice of Jean Baptiste André Dumas, and the 'unfounded allegation that [Pierre] Prévost and Dumas must be looked upon as the precursors of Carl Ernst von Baer in the discovery of the ovarian ovum'. Jones argues 'Prévost and Dumas knew nothing of the ovarian ovum', and refers to his paper in Philosophical Transactions 1837 which accoridng to him 'contains the first description and delineation of an ovum'.</dc:description>
