The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Horace Tabberer Brown, on a paper 'Cyanogenesis in plants. Part II. The great millet, sorghum vulgare' by Wyndham Rowland Dunstan and Thomas A Henry

Reference number: RR/15/322

Date: 01 June 1902

Description

Sectional Committee: Botany

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full. No comments are given regarding illustrations.

The paper is of considerable value, not only in elucidating the contributions of one of the glucoisdes, a class of substance of which they have but little definite knowledge, but also in elucidating the probable role which some of them may play in plant economy. He has referred to the paper of Dunstan and Henry in Philosophical Transactions B, 1901, 515, but cannot see that there has been any duplication of work already published.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1901].

Endorsed on verso as received 2 June 1902.
