The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by unknown referee, on a paper 'The visual perception of fine detail' by Hamilton Hartridge

Reference number: RR/69/155

Date: 1946

Description

Sectional committee: Physiology

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. Most of the theories and results have already been published by the author in various publications. The optical arguments should be critically examined by a physicist. The author's use of pigments rather than pure spectral stimuli is open to criticism. The opinion of a statistician would be valuable in checking the cluster formation. There are some verbal errors that should be fixed.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1947].
