| Title | Referee's report by Hugh Longbourne Callendar, on a paper 'The electrical conductivity of air and salt vapours' by Harold Albert Wilson |
| Date | April 1901 |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry
Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. The paper seems more suitable for the Philosophical Magazine. It is of too slight a character and some of the conclusions appear to be based on insufficient experimental evidence. The investigation of important points is left incomplete and the explanations are too vague and hypothetical. Some obvious sources of error are not mentioned.
