Reference number: RR/24/78

Description

Sectional Committee: Botany

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper is difficult to follow. Suggests a change to the title. Has previously been sent the paper for criticism by Edwins [?], and gave an unfavourable review then. 'It seems scarcely probable that the present remarks will be taken any account of'.

[Not published]

Endorsed on recto as received 3 July 1917.
