| Title | Referee's report by William McFadden Orr, on a paper 'On the scattering and absorption of light in gaseous media, with applications to the intensity of sky radiation' by Louis Vessot King |
| Date | 16 June 1912 |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry
Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Refers to work by John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, William Thomson, Lord Kelvin and Arthur Schuster, on whose work the current paper builds. Suggests most of the paper should be printed, to aid clarity, but some parts can be omitted. Suggests changing the word 'radiation' for 'scattering' in the title.
