III.—The respiratory quotient of the yolk-sac and allantois during the last two weeks of development' by Joseph Needham Sectional committee: Physiology Recommended for publication in Proceedings, in full but shortened. The amount of tabular matter is unnecessary and should be summarised instead. The paper is biochemical in nature and the referee feels they are not competent to judge the paper fully.
