Referee's report by Reginald Ruggles Gates, on a paper 'The external mechanics of the chromosomes. Parts I -V' by Cyril Dean Darlington Sectional committee: Botany Not recommended for publication in its present form. It contains little new observations and it tries to create a hypotheses based on assumptions. It's publication would be very expensive and not justified. It might acquire value if it were shortened. If published, corrections should be made. [All papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 1936]. Endorsed on verso as received 11 October 1935. October 1935
