Asks Keilin to act as referee for Yonge's paper. Explains the complexity associated with the paper thus far, referring to correspondence with [Edgar Johnson] Allen, James Gray, and [William Ringrose Gelston] Atkins [see RR/W/5/52, RR/W/5/58, RR/W/5/57, RR/W/5/62, RR/W/5/63]. Atkins is qualified to act as referee, but has already done so 'unofficially'. Is unsure how to proceed. Asks Keilin to read the paper and speak with [Joseph] Needham about it. Apologises for the inconvenience, explaining 'I do not know any other Fellow except yourself to ask', as [Carl Frederick Abel] Pantin's 'opinion would scarcely be independent' from Gray's. Yonge's 1936 paper in Proceedings [of the Royal Society] also caused 'a great deal of trouble'.
