The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Charles Scott Sherrington and John Scott Burdon-Sanderson, on a paper 'On the changes in movement and sensation produced by hemisection of the spinal cord in the cat' by Charles Devereux Marshall

Reference number: RR/12/356

Date: 21 May 1895

Description

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. The investigations are careful but do not add new knowledge. Consider the author not familiar with previous investigations on the subject. The paper is overly long. The abstract already published is sufficient.
