Some comments on JH's light and photography experiments, especially effects of different kinds of glass and fixing with ferrocyanate.
Sends JH pamphlet on intimate connection between a country's zoology and its political statistics. Regrets that JH wished not to be nominated for presidency of R.S.L. on returning from Cape.
Thanks WS for his pamphlet on the 'Statistical Zoology of Britain.' Comments on the dynamics of animal and plant ecology.
Saturday's experiments have brought a severe inflammation of the eyes so has been unable to use the aerolite. Returns it, but will try some experiments later if JH sends it back.
