Reference number: RR/13/295

Date: 02 January 1898

Description

Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions in its present form. Much abbreviation is needed, as much of the paper is made up of 'fruitless discussion'. It contains the result of laborious work on an interesting subject and it has the quality required to be published in Philosophical Transactions. The author should condense and rearrange the paper to ensure publication.
