| dc.description.abstract | William Bookey Brownrigg, who discovered the Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian)
vertebrate fossils at Jarrow Colliery, Co. Kilkenny in 1864, published a short paper on the
material. Shortly afterwards E.P. Wright, a zoologist from Trinity College Dublin,
contacted Thomas Henry Huxley with a view to publishing a full description of the
material. In November 1865 Huxley wrote to Brownrigg about his involvement and in his
reply Brownrigg agreed to Huxley describing the material. Ultimately, when it came to the
publication of the fossil fauna, Brownrigg was side-lined. Brownrigg?s letter to Huxley is transcribed here. | en |
