Referee's report by George Howard Darwin, on a paper 'Mathematical contributions to the theory of evolution. X. Supplement to a memoir on skew variation' by Karl Pearson
Reference number: RR/15/228
Date: 05 June 1901

Description
Sectional Committee: Mathematics
Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full without modifications and with all the accompanying illustrations. Has looked at the original memorandum and at this paper, but without studying the mathematics in detail. The author should be allowed to make good on points[?] in a former memoir which has been published, but apart from this the paper seems of interest in connection with the former work.
[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1901].
Endorsed on verso as received 7 June 1901.
