Referee's report by Frederick Frost Blackman, on a paper 'New method for accurate determination of photosynthetic desposit of carbohydrates in living plants' by Jagadis Chunder Bose and N C Naq

Reference number: RR/28/66

Date: 23 June 1923

Description

Sectional Committee: Botany

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. No recent work on the subject has been referred to. Refers to work of Julius von Sachs, David Thoday and Alfred James Wilmott, none of whom are referenced favourably in the paper. The introduction should not be published. The new experimental method is of no practical use, but suggests a second opinion be sought.
