Description

Sectional committee: not stated

Not recommended for publication. It will be rather difficult to seriously consider the result of the author's work as any addition to their knowledge of the subject without considerably more detail. Suggests placing the paper in the archives. He is hardly justified in getting the paper refused however as it may be thought that he is prejudiced in the matter and he has 'personally suffered much' in letters from the author.

[Not published].

Endorsed on verso as received [May 1901].
