The peripatetic fossils: part 4

Nature volume 343, pages 305–307 (1990)Cite this article

These two articles are the latest round In exchanges over the charge that Professor VJ. Gupta is responsible for corruption of the palaeontological literature on the Himalayas. Gupta (p. 307) responds to the allegations of four co-authors of papers with him. Professor J.B. Waterhouse, another co-author, comments below both on those allegations and on the articles by Dr John Talent in which the issue was raised originally. Talent will reply in next week'sNature.
