Letter to Frederick Orpen Bower from CG Knott in which he states that Margaret Benson's paper is not a fit candidate for publication as her photographs are poor and her descriptions are not supported by the photographic evidence. He states that R Kidston has stated that there is no reason why the finest detail could not be shown throught the use of appropriate screens such as he and WH Lang had employed in their work with fossils and he explains that if such detail is achievable by one candidate for publication, it should be achieved by all.
