| Title | Referee's report by John Ambrose Fleming, on a paper 'An artificial retina and the theory of vision' by Jagadish Chunder Bose |
| Date | 26 June 1900 |
| Description | Sectional commitee: Physics and chemistry
Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. The paper is full of matter which is hypothetical and speculative. Bose attempts to elaborate a theory put forward by Dr Lodge in 'The Work of Hertz'. Thinks the subject matter cannot properly be dealt with except in the combined labours of a competent physiologist and physicist. He is not competent to deal with the physiological matter of the paper, which forms its greater part, and thinks it ought best be submitted to a physiologist. It should be suggested that the paper be compressed considerably with a view of possible publication in the Proceedings.
