The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Archibald Liversidge, on two papers 'Borohydrates.—Part II' and 'Borohydrates.—Part III' by Morris William Travers and others

Reference number: RR/21/152

Date: 27 June 1914

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. An abstract could be read to the Royal Society, 'mainly on account of the corrections provided'. In a previous report, the referee suggests the paper should be reduced in length. The authors state that 'Part I' of the series was 'largely inconclusive' due to errors, suggesting to the referee that it should not have been published. It is not stated that the experiments in the current paper are free of the same errors. The current researches could be published as abstracts in the Proceedings, if only as a correction to the earlier paper.
