From: andrew smith To: william_parker@XXX.XXX Date: 05/13/2005 10:18 AM CET Subject: receipt of paper on Stagonolepididae Dear Professor Parker, Thank you for submitting your paper entitled "Reassessment of the aetosaur "Desmatosuchus" chamaensis with a revision of the phylogeny of the Stagonolepididae (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia)" to the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. I have now had a chance to read through it and agree that it is suitable for the journal in content. I shall therefore be sending your paper out to two reviewers for assessment. This process can take some time, as I am sure you appreciate, but I shall be in touch as soon as I have two reports in hand and can decide how to proceed. Sincerely, Andrew Smith Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Tel. 0207 942 5217 email a.smith@nhm.ac.uk website: www.nhm.ac.uk/palaeontology/echinoids
