The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by George Howard Darwin, on a paper 'Some additional notes on the orientation of greek temples; being the result of a journey to greece and sicily in April and May, 1900' by Francis Cranmer Penrose

Reference number: RR/14/222

Date: 13 May 1899

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper reads as an appendix to the author's earlier paper, and should be published in the same manner. Publishing this paper makes rejecting a similar paper by E A Wallis Budge, but that paper is almost purely archaeological in nature.

Subject: Astronomy, Mathematics, Archaeology
