| Title | Referee's report by George Howard Darwin, on a paper 'On the distribution of strain in the Earth's crust resulting from secular cooling, with special reference to the growth of continents and the formation of mountain-chains' by Charles Davison |
| Date | 11 June 1887 |
| Description | Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The mathematical treatment is 'inelegant'. Some of the explanation is unclear. Refers to work by Fisher [?]. The referee is considering writing a note to be published alongside the paper, which he assumes will not need to be submitted for review. Suggests shortening the mathematical section.
