Title | Referee's report by Wyndham Rowland Dunstan, on a paper 'Contributions to our knowledge of the poison plants of Western Australia' by E A Mann and W H Ince |
Date | 6 April 1906 |
Description | Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry
Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Suggests an abstract in the Proceedings would suffice. The discussion of the examinations would be more suited to publication by the Chemical Society. The authors seem to have no prior experience working with plants and explain their processes at great length. Authors seem unaware of basic plant physiology, eg solubility of chlorophyll. 'The chemistry of this paper is...of a very primitive and preliminary character'.
