| Title | Referee's report by William George Penney, on two papers 'Electronic wave functions - I. A general method of calculation for the stationary states of any molecular system' and 'Electronic wave functions II. A calculation for the ground state of the beryllium atom' by Samuel Francis Boys |
| Date | 30 October 1949 |
| Description | Sectional committee: Physics
Both of the papers are remarkable and if they are correct, will be on of the largest single advances in the energy state of atoms. Is unable to state that the first paper is completely right but it will take several years to understand principle fully. The Society should publish the paper.
[Both papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1950].
