| Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt], FRS |
| Date | 4 January 1924 |
| Description | Informs Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt] of [Sydney] Barratt's paper 'The absorption spectra of mixed metallic vapours', communicated by [Thomas Ralph] Merton. Asks whether Rayleigh wishes the paper to go to a referee, or if Merton's good opinion of it is enough. Asks whether the new paper 'Selective absorption by luminous mercury vapour', by E. P. Metcalfe and [Bachalli] Venkatesachar, communicated by [Alfred William] Porter, should be sent to Merton as the referee. Asks for a suggested referee for the new paper 'Atmospheric pollution and potential gradient at Kew Observatory 1921 and 1922' by [Charles] Chree and [R. E.] Watson. Sends Rayleigh D. H. Bangham and F. P. Burt's paper 'The Behaviour of Gases in Contact with Glass Surfaces', along with a large package of diagrams. |
