Referee's report by George Gabriel Stokes, on a paper 'Researches on turacin, an animal pigment containing copper.-II' by Arthur Herbert Church

Reference number: RR/11/132

Date: 07 May 1892

Description

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. Turacin is an expensive substance and as a result the research isn't as complete as the referee would prefer. However, he understands the great financial cost that more intense research would result in and recommends the paper anyway.

Subject: Chemistry

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1892].
