Referee's report by Frederick Frost Blackman, on a paper 'The ascent of water in trees' by Alfred James Ewart Sectional Committee: Botany Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. He queries if a table of contents might be give. All the accompanying illustrations should be reproduced. Though it does not provide a solution to any of the problems of the ascent of water, the paper gives a large mass of valuable data on the dynamical aspect of the question. The work is sound and critical throughout. [Published in the Philosophical Transactions B, 1906]. Endorsed on verso as received 17 November 1904. December 1904
