The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's Report by W E [Wilfrid Edward] le Gros Clark on a paper 'Observations on the acoustic tubercles or lobi-acustico-laterales in bathypelagic fishes and on the function of the lateral line organ' by H Muir Evans

Reference number: RR/W/7/35

Date: 10 November 1938

Description

Paper reference code: B.59

Not suitable for publication by the Society, but could be published as a short note without illustrations in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society. The observations in the paper are not backed up by anatomical and experimental studies, and so nothing is proven. The style is also unsuitable for a Royal Society publication. The accompanying figures are messy and do not have scales.

[Not published].
