Referee's report by Charles James Martin, on a paper 'The influence of cobra venom on the proteid metabolism' by Dr James Scott Sectional Committee: Physiology Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. It is not suitable; it is a very ordinary piece of metabolic work and the results are negative. If accepted for Proceedings, the author should be asked to predicate his acquaintance with the fact that for our knowledge of the physical action of cobra venom we are mostly indebted to Brunton and Fayrer, and Wall and Nicholson.
