Letter from Edmund Clifton Stoner, on a paper 'Antiferromagnetism in metals' by A B Lidiard, to D C Martin, assistant secretary of the Royal Society Paper reference code: A.273 Communicating a paper by E W Elcock, titled 'Collective electron antiferromagnetism'. This paper is very similar to Lidiard's paper, though carried out independently. Given his involvement Stoner believes he cannot give an unbiased report on Lidiard's paper. Suggests sending Elcock and Lidiard's papers to other referees, to consider one or both for publication. [Published in Proceedings A, 1954]. Received 9 January 1954 8 January 1954
