| Title | Copy of Referee's comments [by Alexander Craig Aitken], on a paper 'A contribution to our knowledge of the wood-anatomy of a few plants occurring in Bengal belonging to Meliaceae and Rutaceae' by S [Syed] Hedayetullah and A K Chakravorty |
| Date | [February 1937] |
| Description | Paper reference code: B.101
Is unaware of the Desch formula that the authors mention. Suggests a re-phrasing of an explanation on distribution. Notes that the authors use formulae by [Karl] Pearson and [Prasanta Chandra] Mahalanobis, and questions the authors' application of Pearson's Coefficient of Racial Likeness.
[Clarification: lead author Syed Hedayetullah (1904-1973) was Economic Botanist to the Government of Bengal, in charge of the studies at the Central Agricultural Research Station, Monipur, Dhaka [Bangladesh], and founding figure of Bangladeshi scientific agriculture, Founding Fellow of the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences]
