Letter from Louis Compton Miall, on a paper 'Variation' by James Cossar Ewart to William Abbott Herdman Sectional committee: not stated He and Herdman seem quite agreed that the paper as it stands cannot be accepted for publication. It would be unwise to prejudge the question whether, if it were recast and subdivided, whether the resulting papers would be acceptable. The paper does contain valuable experimental results. [Not published]. 5 May 1900
