Referee's report by Edwin Stephen Goodrich, on a paper 'The development of the vertebral column in mammals, as illustrated by its development in Mus musculus' by Ben Dawes Sectional committee: Zoology Not recommended for publication in its present form. The paper is made up of 'painstaking and accurate observations', but contains little new facts. No effort has been made to distinguish between old and new matter. The author should create a smaller paper that bring out anything new he has found in his results. [Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 1930].
