The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by William Bate Hardy, on a paper 'The principles of ultrafiltration as applied in biological studies' by William Joseph Elford

Reference number: RR/47/38

Date: October 1932

Description

Sectional committee: Physiology

Unsure of whether to recommend or not. The cases used are 'distressingly obvious' and the author seems better at experiment than theory. The paper seem like a thesis and needs to be severely shortened.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 1933].

Endorsed on verso as received 14 October 1932.
