Description

Contains letter from Adrien, communicating the paper and claiming that the author wishes for it to be published in Philosophical Transactions.

Hill has consulted with the Chairman of the Physiological Committee and believes himself to be the only referee that is required. It should be published in Proceedings, as it would 'be lost' in Philosophical Transactions. It is suitable to be read before the Committee, but he believes the author to be in America. He recommends it for publication in Proceedings.
