Referee's report by William Hobson Mills, on a paper 'On the pattern of proteins' by D M Wrinch Sectional committee: Chemistry Not recommended for publication in Proceedings. It contains no new scientific facts, but only suggests a speculative theory of the structure of proteins. The investigations are quite superficial. The theory is ingenious and deserved publication in some form, perhaps in Nature. [Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1937]. Endorsed on verso as received 1 September 1936. August 1936
