TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor Sidney Martin, Fellow of the Royal Society, Chairman of the Physiology Sectional Committee
Date18 July 1907
DescriptionHarrison reports that Dr Henry Head reported favourably on Dr G J Burch's paper, 'On cases of colour blindness no. 6 to 18, together with 11 selected examples of normal colour sensation', recommending publication in Proceedings of the Royal Society, providing Dr Joseph Larmor as Secretary of the Society, agrees. Larmor, upon inspection, recommends publication in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society on the grounds that the account of cases 1 to 5 of colour blindness having appeared there, and following consultation with the President, Lord Rayleigh, has received his approval of this proposal.

Harrison asks if Martin is willing to proceed with publication in Transactions under Standing Order 43.
