Reference number: RR/72/277
Date: 25 September 1949

Description
The paper appears to have defects that the ordinary reader wouldn't notice. The paper should be declined on the grounds that the referee considers it to be unsuitable as a simple contribution to Philosophical Transactions. Or the paper should be returned to the authors with the detailed criticism. Or the paper could be split into different parts and published in two or more journals.
[Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1950].
