Abstract

THE Royal Society of South Africa has honoured Dr. Robert Broom, of the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, on the occasion of his eightieth birthday, by publishing a volume of papers by many men on subjects to our understanding of which he has so greatly contributed. After a delightful introduction by General Smuts, we are given a short biography and some personal reminiscences by D. A. Roberts ; then follow a number of articles dealing with fossil reptiles, the field of study within which so much of Broom‘s work has lain.

Special Publication of the Royal Society of South Africa Robert Broom Commemorative Volume.

Edited on behalf of the Society and the Bernard Price Foundation of the University of the Witwatersrand by Alex. L. du Toit. Pp. v+257. (Cape Town: Royal Society of South Africa, 1948.) 22s.
