Description

Sectional committee:

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. It is an excellent general account of the pigment but discloses little that is novel. It will be of great value to students of natural colouring matters.

Contains extra question - 'Is there any information contained in the paper which likely to be of value to the enemy?' Referee replies no.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1941].

Endorsed on verso as received 1940.
