Referee's report by [Richard Higgins] Burne, on a paper 'The Weberian apparatus of Carassius auratus' by [John] M Watson Paper reference code: B.19 Sectional committee: Zoology Does not recommend the paper for publication in the Philosophical Transactions [of the Royal Society] as it does not significantly advance existing knowledge. States that the paper 'covers the same ground' as Charnilov and Matveiev's work on Weberian ossicles. Recognises the value of the paper, and suggests it be published elsewhere. [Not published in this form, but likely reworked into "The development of the Weberian ossicles and anterior vertebrae in the goldfish", Proc B, 127, 849, 1939, pp. 452-472]. Received 3 March 1934 [February - March 1934]
