TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor Sidney Martin, Fellow of the Royal Society, Chairman of the Physiology Sectional Committee
Date6 January 1908
DescriptionBoth referees reports for the paper 'On localisation of function in the Lemuris brain' by Dr Frederick Walker Mott and Dr William Dobinson Halliburton have been favourable to publication in Proceedings of the Royal Society. Harrison quotes recommendations from both referees' reports, with Professor David Ferrier recommending inclusion of all illustrations with the text, but advising omission of Plate II if necessary on the ground of expense. Professor Charles Scott Sherrington suggests reducing the size of the map of the brain and rearranging some other figures to reduce the number of plates.

Harrison asks that Martin minute his opinion as Chairman.
