| Title | Referee's report by George Biddell Airy, on a paper 'On the state of the interior of the earth' by William Hopkins |
| Date | 22 April 1839 |
| Description | Referee has read another paper (by Poisson) which has similar ideas to this paper. The author has 'literally copied' parts of Poisson's work, meaning the facts within the paper are 'not original'. Referee wants this report to be considered an appendix to his previous report (RR/1/105).
