Letter from Edwin Ray Lankester, to Mr Harrison, regarding a paper 'A study of the phyto-plankton of the Atlantic' by George Robert Milne Murray and Vernon Herbert Blackman In reply to an enclosed letter from Michael Foster, his Committee did not recommend offering the part on Pyrocystis to the Linnean Society. The decision was left to Walter Frank Raphael Weldon, who recommended against publication by the Royal Society. Recommends that the drawings should be returned to the authors and the manuscript placed in the archives. Does not agree to sending the paper to the Linnean Society directly.
