Dear All, From 'In Brief' in today's Daily Telegraph - Kipling's crocodile A well-preserved crocodile skull has been declared as belonging to a new species. The 130million-year -old specimen has been named Goniopholis Kiplini after Rudyard Kipling in recognition of the writer's enthusiasm for natural sciences. The skull, dating back to the early Cretaceous period, was discovered in Swanage three years ago and is now in the Dorset County Museum. Best wishes to all, Roger Ayers
