Mr. WE Cutler was in charge of the British Museum East African Expedition in search of dinosaur remains at Tendaguru in Tanganyika Territory.

A family piece?

Received an interesting email from someone who lives in Oak Bay about a table they bought. When they bought it they were told it was from the Tod House, and she was wondering if it was a table from the Paulin family. I have no way of knowing, but thought hey – ask family members if…

It is a lovely table, English made, circa 1870s….

So if you think it was in the house, contact me.

London Natural History Museum assembles dinosaur, 1927

Gets Biggest Dinosaur

London Natural History Museum Assembles Tanganyika Specimen

Copyright 1927 by New York Times Company, by Wireless to the New York Times

London, Jan 12- What is expected to prove the largest dinosaur ever discovered is being assembled in the Natural History Museum here. The various remains of a mammoth specimen of this terror of the prehistoric world, found in the Tanganyika territory in Africa by the Cutler Expedition now there, were forwarded to the Museum and are being reconstructed by experts.

The plaster reproduction of the quadruped dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic stratum of Wyoming now on exhibition in the museum is 84 feet 9 inches long, and stands 12 feet 9 ½ inches high at the shoulder, but the African specimen promises to be larger.

“These finds will probably give us the largest specimen in the world, for there is every indication of a real giant.” Said a museum official.

It is expected it will prove more than 90 feet long and 20 feet high at the high legs.

Possible Family Reunion in 2023?

This is a post which is an act of utter hopefulness. There has been talk of another reunion for the family – this time in England. So here is the rather vague plan, covid and all that depending.

All the descendants, cousins, et al, will meet in Henley-on-Thames for a day or two of reunion, and then we visit all our relatives situated all over Britain, or whatever, in 2023. I am thinking the middle or end of July – after the Henley Regatta (ie less busy and expensive).

Henley-on-Thames is where Frederick Paulin sr was born in 1831, and lived until 1874. His father George was mayor of Henley, and the family owned a few pubs and so forth in town before that. It seems the best place for the fun.

Mark your calendars in pencil, and pray for better more open times.
