Re: paleonet Owen's Odontography

["Alvaro Mones" <amones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as I know no bibliochronology of Owen's Odontography was published
but I can add to your observation that Owen (Proceedings of the Royal
Society of London, 1869, 17:455) indicates page 602 as published in 1846 and
later (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 1870,
159(2):559) indicates page 575 as published in 1842! On the other hand, the
Atlas plates are numberes 1 to 150 but in fact there are 168 plates.
I suppose that the book was published in issues and Owen knew the dates of
each part.
