Offered is a Very Good entire issue of the Proceedings in self wrappers with foxing covers and edges, cover edge wear, small piece missing rear cover, soil covers. 8vo.

Turner used his knowledge of craniology to support Huxley's defense of evolution theory, and his correspondence with Darwin (on rudimentary vestigial organs) is quoted by his son Logan Turner. Many of his observations were included in "The Descent of Man." He was critical of Dubois's work on Pithecanthropus erectus, which he did not see as a new species intermediate between man and ape, but, in the modern light, as an early evolutionary form. (DSB Vol. 13 p. 504).
