Referee's report by George Downing Liveing, on a paper 'On the change of absorption produced by fluorescence' by John Burke

Reference number: RR/13/173

Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. The account of observations 'leaves something to be desired' and the descriptions of the photographs don't clearly state which conditions they were taken under. The details of all the other experiments should be omitted as they don't add any value to the paper.
