Identifier: Coll-203/B3/14
Scope and Contents
Lyell asks Smyth to look at three specimens of lava, which he has just referred to in a lecture at the RS. He then showed them to Tennant, and Lyell summarises his opinion. Lyell instructs Smyth to leave the specimens with the porter at Jermyn Street Museum, where he will collect them. He wants to allude to these opinions at the next meeting of the GS 'when Abich's letter is read'.
