WCP642

From:
Alfred Russel Wallace
To:
William Carruthers
Date:
19 February 1879
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM Catkey-417857
Summary:

Are tropical fruit on the whole more or less coloured than those in the temperate zone - is proportion of red, yellow, black & white fruit, & those which are green or brown greater in the tropical or the temperate flora? [is thinking of wild fruit only here] - has anyone written on the subject? - would be important one way or the other to the question of the colour sense in animals and sexual selection as discussed in Grant Allen's clever book on the Colour Sense which ARW is writing a review of. Has heard nothing about "Epping Forest" - Sir Arthur Hobhouse - article by ARW on Epping Forest - "Epping Forest, and how best to deal with it", Fortnightly Review 24, 628-45 (1 Nov 1878)].

To:
William Carruthers
Date:
14 November 1879
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, London: NHM Catkey-417864
Summary:

Thanks for kindness in speaking to the Duke of Bedford - has not heard from him - today sent application with copies of his testimonials - should he get the post, Bedford's influence could be brought to bear on the Cttee. Papers today: you have just received [John] Miers' Brazilian collection of plants - puts me in mind of a subject I am much interested in - the getting collections arranged geographically [as opposed to systematically, which results in a number of interesting points being overlooked] - do not know if you have the power to make such an innovation but if you have I suggest it for your consideration as supplying a great want & at the same time setting a much needed example.

Natural History Museum, London: NHM Catkey-417863
Summary:

Heard Committee was all very much against ARW's plan of introducing "foreign trees" - want a "true English forest" - Cttee themselves have already begun planting foreign trees - avenue of poplars which are the common Lombardy and Black Poplars - no doubt think they are British because they are common.
