Second referee's report by Geoffrey Ingram Taylor, on a paper 'Instability of fluids heated from below' by Krishna Chandra Sectional committee: Physics Not recommended for publication. It has been much reduced since the last time he read it. The method of measuring the temperature should be stated. The author may have discovered something new but these results were obtained with apparatus that is open to criticism. The author should have stated why his observations are significant.
