NHM EARTH SCIENCES - Typed letter, signed by C. E. Hardinge and addressed to Mr. Bier, dated 18/1/54, inserted between p. 176-177. Hardinge criticises comments made by Linnaeus on jade: 'He was wrong in everything he wrote about it except its chemical contents, & Dr. Uggla thinks he just copied what someone else had written & never checked up on it.'
NHM EARTH SCIENCES - The volumes have been rebound.
