TitleLetter from [Geoffrey Ingram] Taylor] to [Henry] Dale, regarding a paper 'Studies in animal movement, I. The movements of fish with special reference to the eel' by James Gray
Date16 October 1932
DescriptionPaper reference code: B.51

Apologies for the delay in responding about Gray's paper. Cannot find a written reference for the points made about propulsion, even though everyone he has spoken with "seemed to know it as a thing so obvious as to be beyond discussion". Does not believe the paper needs several pages to explain this, and disagrees with the paper's claim that previous authors had not understood the principle.

[Not published].
