Returns some of WBT’s skulls.
His MS is with printer, but book [Variation] will probably not be out until November.
Asks whether WBT can carry out poultry mating experiments for him.
Believes beauty of male bird important for attracting mate in wild. Will be interested to hear how a dyed male pigeon is received by the hens.
Sends the revisions in the latest edition of Origin.
Thanks WBT for proofs of his new book [Pigeons (1868)].
Hopes he still intends to try the experiment with dyed pigeons.
Was surprised to hear of B. P. Brent’s death.
Answers CD’s queries about polygamous birds. Does not think appearance of cock makes any difference to female. Dyeing the male has no effect on female.
