The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Charles Galton Darwin, on a paper 'Investigations on magne-crystallic action III—Further studies on organic crystals' by Kariamanikkam Srinivasa Krishnan and S Banerjee

Reference number: RR/53/17

Date: October 1934

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The work is dull but should be published. 'My only hesitation about the paper is that I see no reason why the authors should not go on burning out similar results for ever, all equally good and equally dull, and I see no reason why there should ever come a point where the line must be drawn to refuse publication'.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society]
