Referee's report by George Carey Foster, on a paper 'The influence of stress and strain on the physical properties of matter. Part I. Elasticity—continued. The effect of magnetisation on the elasticity and the internal friction of metals' by Herbert Tomlinson Recommended for publication in Proceedings, rather than Philosophical Transactions. It contains 'some interesting and probably important observations', but the 'general quality' is not suitable for Philosophical Transactions. It should be published in full. Subject: Physics [Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1886]. 4 January 1887
