Second referee's report by D'arcy Wentworth Thompson, on a paper 'The life history of some marine plankton diatoms' by F Gross

Reference number: RR/60/8

Date: 07 February 1937

Description

Sectional committee: Zoology

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, in full. The fact that the author is foreign accounts for the stilted and prolix style of English. The paper has been shortened, which is an improvement.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1937].

Endorsed on verso as received 9 February 1937.
