Referee's report by Henry Edward Armstrong, on a paper 'On the normal paraffins. —Part III' by Carl Schorlemmer

Reference number: RR/8/257

Date: 1880

Description

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Suggests an alternate explanation for the results.
