Description

Sectional Committee: Chemistry

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Finds it a retrograde step to discuss the subject in terms of molecular volume. Suggests the paper be revised to show the relation to the work of others. Refers to work of Joseph Oakland Hirschfelder and W E Roseveare. Suggests adding definitions for the symbols.

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London']

Endorsed on recto as received 9 June 1939.
