Flower, William Henry, 1831-1899; Zoologists -- Great Britain -- Biography
[6] From the extract from Professor M’Intosh’s notice of Flower’s work
above cited, it might be inferred that Owen first proposed the terms
Archencephala, Gyrencephala, etc., at the Cambridge Meeting of the
British Association in 1862. This is not so, as these terms were used by
him in a paper read before the Linnæan Society in 1857, and also in his
Reade Lecture “On the Classification and Geographical Distribution of the
Mammalia,” delivered at Cambridge on 10th May, 1859, and published in
London (by J. W. Parker) as a separate volume the same year.
