Description

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Agrees that the paper is 'unnecesarily lengthy', with little new information, but does not agree that it is controversial. Suggests the author's attention be drawn to the excessive length of the introduction, and the repetition in thediscussion of previous researches. Suggests the author provide illustrations which can be inserted into the text, with a single plate for the photographs. The total number of figures should not exceed eight.
