| Title | Letter from Lancelot Hogben to [John David] Griffith Davies, regarding a paper 'The comparative behaviour of mammalian eggs in vivo and in vitro. II. The development of fertilized and artificially activated rabbit eggs' by G [George] Pincus |
| Creator | Hogben; Lancelot Thomas (1895-1975) |
| Recipient | Davies; John David Griffith (1899-1953); Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society (1937-1946) |
| Date | 10 January 1939 |
| Description | Paper reference code: B.43
Hogben provides extensive criticism of Pincus's writing style, stating that it is below the standard of publication for the Society. Nevertheless he believes the work to be of great importance. 'The figures leave no doubt that we have here a case of genuine mammalian parthenogenesis' and Hogben suggests 'that the Society reconsider it for publication' if Pincus rewrites the paper.
