Reference number: RR/13/297

Date: 30 January 1898

Description

Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, as the method is 'inadequate' and the experimental results aren't clear and coherent. He is aware that the abstract has been accepted for publication in Proceedings, so he cannot make any remarks on it now. However, he doesn't think it is full enough.

Subject: Zoology
