Letter from Edward Alfred Minchin, to Herbert Rix, regarding a paper 'On the origin of the triradiate spicules of Leucosolenia' by Edward Alfred Minchin

Reference number: RR/12/365

Date: 25 January 1896

Description

Has decided to withdraw the paper. Considered the paper to be a preliminary communication for publication in the Proceedings; did not realise that the abstract would be printed, which has fulfilled this function. Cannot agree to the recommendations of the referee. Intends to publish his completed account elsewhere. Returns the manuscript, but asks if the Royal Society has rights over the figures, which he has prepared at his own expense.
