Letter from [William Ringrose Gelston] Atkins to [Archibald Vivian] Hill, regarding a paper 'On the nature and permeability of Chitin, III - The nature and origin of the membranes surrounding the developing eggs of Homarus vulgaris' by [Charles Maurice] Yonge

Reference number: RR/W/5/62

Date: 22 March 1937

Description

Paper reference code: B.121

Hopes Hill is feeling better. Has read the second part of the paper, and praises how it 'got over the criticism of 1st paper re permeability'. States that the paper is interesting and well written. Appreciates its interdisciplinarity. Feels 'responsible' for telling Allen it was publishable, as 'the referee could scarcely have been more scathing' [see RR/W/5/59]. Believes the paper to be publishable.

[Not published, but part I and II published in the Proceedings B in 1932 and 1936].
