| Title | Referee's report by Douglas Rayner Hartree, on a paper 'Stability of polyatomic molecules in degenerate electronic states - I—Orbital degeneracy' by H A Jahn and E Teller |
| Date | [March 1937] |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Mathematics
No clear statement regarding publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Does not understand the meaning of the term 'spreading out', which may be a translation of a German term. Suggests giving clear definition for the terms 'orbital degeneracy' and 'accidental degeneracy'. Notes some places where terms and wording are unclear.
