Referee's report by D'arcy Wentworth Thompson, on a paper 'The life history of some marine plankton diatoms' by F Gross Sectional committee: Zoology Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. It is a useful piece of work, but 'nothing in it is brilliant' and it doesn't contain much new information. The paper is long-winded and could be reduced in length. [Published in Philosophical Transactions B, 1937]. Endorsed on verso as received 25 January 1937. 21 January 1937
