Abstract
Clear documentation of the position that there are no transitional forms, and no diversification and branching from general to special, is available in the 1967 publication, The Fossil Record (A Symposium with Documentation), jointly sponsored by the Geological Society of London and the Palaeontological Association of England. Attention to this thoroughly scientific work resulted from the suggestion of Father Vincent J. O'Brien, former science master at Castlenock College, County Dublin, Ireland, and past Chairman of the Association of Irish Teachers of Science.
