     Why don't you email the Linnean Society in London? The librarian Ms 
     Gina Douglas is always very helpful and might be able to track down 
     obscure and ancient references if you ask her nicely. Her email is 
     gina@linnean.demon.co.uk

Dear colleagues:
     
 In the course of my master's thesis research, I have been trying
to get a copy of the original description of the fossil primate 
_Microchoerus_. The reference is:
     
 Wood, S. 1846. On the discovery of an alligator and of several
  new Mammalia in the Hordwell Cliff, with observations 
  on the geological phenomena of that locality. London 
  Geological Journal 1: 1-7.
     
Suffice it to say, I have not been successful in my attempts to locate
this paper. While corresponding with a colleague in Toronto, I have learned 
that this periodical (first years at least) is apparently not even 
available in any library in Canada. I could go through interlibrary loan, 
but I doubt the results would be positive. Therefore, I would appreciate
it if someone (maybe in the UK) could take a couple of minutes to make 
a xerox and send it to me. The generous person would be acknowledged 
accordingly in my thesis...
     
Please reply off-list.
