There she remained for fifty years and learned ornithology, palaeontology, geology and anatomy, in the early years often working as a piece-worker. In 1901 Bate published her first scientific paper, A short account of a bone cave in the Carboniferous limestone of the Wye valley, which appeared in the Geological Magazine, about bones of small Pleistocene mammals. The same year, she first visited Cyprus, at her own expense, to search for bones there, finding twelve new deposits in ossiferous caves, among them bones of Hippopotamus minor. In 1902, with the benefit of a hard-won grant from the Royal Society, she returned to Cyprus, and in a cave in the Kyrenia hills discovered a new species of dwarf elephant, which she named Elephas cypriotes, later described in a paper for the Royal...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14388057We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
