Says it is not likely he will be able to criticise GJR’s work.
Recommends Jean-Henri Fabre, Souvenirs entomologiques [1879].
Encloses letters from J. F. Moulton [12350 and 12356].
Germination of Megarrhiza. AG’s observations at variance with CD’s.
Thinks Huxley’s judgment on answering S. Butler’s charges would be trustworthy, though THH is horribly pugnacious and would naturally be for fighting.
Has read Butler’s letter and CD’s draft reply and Litchfield’s letter. Has no hesitation in saying CD should take no notice. Litchfield’s advice is judicious.
