The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Benjamin Moore, on a paper 'The electrical conductivity of echinoderm eggs, and its bearing on the problems of fertilisation and artificial parthenogenesis' by James Gray

Reference number: RR/21/77

Date: 22 December 1914

Description

Sectional Committee: Zoology

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Would 'rather not answer categorically the questions on the form'. Suggests a shortened paper may work in the Proceedings. If this does not suit the author 'then bury the bulk of it somewhere else'.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1916]
