Summary:

ARW has read CR's paper on British plants and the glacial period and discusses that subject, asking CR to read ARW's description of Flora of the Azores in Island Life again, and noting the argument about species which have been so derived since the glacial period. Temperature is mentioned as one of many factors; ARW notes that many species could have lived since the Pliocene. ARW suffers from eczema and rheumatism and cannot leave home.
