The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Memorandum by J D Griffith Davies, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, on a paper 'The pallial organs in the aspidobranch Gastropoda and their evolution throughout the Mollusca' by Charles Maurice Yonge to James Gray

Reference number: RR/69/331

Date: 31 January 1945

Description

The paper was originally communicated in 1943 and refereed by Goodrich and Cannon. Asks if it should go to the same referees or different ones. Asks if he will be willing to pass the paper for publication if the two reports are favorable.

Gray replies that Goodrich, Russell and Cannon should be used as referees. There has been some difficulty about the paper in the past and the present one should be treated as a new paper. Cannon's verdict didn't agree with Goodrich last time and it is unlikely that he will take a more seasonable view this time.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1947].
