- outstrip the facts. Admitting, of course, that
Toynbee is in a different mental stratum altogether.
Had another session with [Terence] Morrison-Scott [Scot] + find that
he has a better head on his shoulders than I first
thought. He is not unacquainted with the quantitative
approach in systematics but states that anything
that he can see is different can be proved different,
whereas if it doesn't look diff. [different] it probably isn't.
A pretty fatuous argument. Frankly I think the
failure here to contribute at a modern level
arises out of the nature of their collection.
It is piecy [piecey] + for the most part has not
arisen from the work of trained collectors
collecting for the purpose of detailed study.
Good series are very scarce. In the vernacular
they are missing the trees for the forest.
