Is sending specimens of Eucalyptus;
goes tomorrow to receive LL.D. [Glasgow].
Sends leaves and names by post.
Is writing everywhere for Drosophyllum.
Is deeply interested in Desmodium.
Had no intention of publishing on Nepenthes, the experiments were solely for CD’s "eating". Will continue with egg and raw meat experiments. Asks for advice on how to prove fluid is secreted by the glands.
Searles Wood’s letter is confused and would deny atavism if his principles were accepted.
Has time only to thank CD for the invaluable hints.
Encloses Lathyrus nissolia seeds.
Has had a week’s cessation of Nepenthes work.
Had to get out a paper for the Linnean Society on Thursday.
Has tried Mimosa albida in hothouse and found it wonderfully sensitive.
A military report from India praises his travel book.
He has noticed that Mimosa albida leaves closed only partially. It can be objected to CD’s theory that, if true, all, or at least more, species would close their leaves on application of water, unless he can show special injury done to M. albida by water.
