Second referee's report by Warington Wilkinson Smyth, on a paper 'On the influence of coal-dust in colliery explosions. No. III' by W Galloway

Reference number: RR/8/302

Date: 16 January 1882

Description

Not recommended for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. The beginning has already been sufficiently covered by the abstract already published in the Proceedings. Some of the discussions are supposition, and descriptions of the apparatus are diffuse. The paper is more suited to the pages of a newspaper.
