The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Second referee's report by William Maddock Bayliss, on a paper 'Mechanical and electrical response in plants' by Jagadis Chunder Bose

Reference number: RR/16/19

Date: 21 November 1904

Description

Sectional Committee: Botany and Physiology

He has entirely misunderstood the request of the Committee to send his original records of experiments. Discusses Bose's method of recording and does not think Bose intends to claim that this method is capable of exact measurements to fractions of a second. Thinks it would have been more satisfactory had Bose used a photographic method.
