A discussion of Pinus maritima. As to Acer Monspessalanum, Hemsley says it is quite hardy in Britain.
ARW mentions a reviewer in Science noticing ARW's paper on "The Gorge of the Aar". Many Swiss geologists have proved that some Alpine lakes are due to subsidence or deformation, ?see Aeppli's essay on Lake Zurich. ARW asks for references to these proofs.
ARW has finished reading ?C. R.'s book and makes some remarks. Regarding getting European seeds for comparison, he enquires if CR has asked Mr Thomas Hanbury of La Mortola garden.
ARW thanks CR for the offer of loan of periodicals with articles on erosion. James Geikie has sent a brief reply to Aeppli. Percy Kendall has promised photographs illustrating glacial phenomena.
ARW returns the papers C. R. lent him. The paper on Spitzbergen was very instructive, to do with the rapid motion of glaciers and occurrence of ?re-eddies which Bonney denies. The paper on Skye is more puzzling. PS Owing to terrible drought, April-August, none of the Acer seeds came up, nor seeds of Cornus nuttallii.
