Would like to cite the case of the celt in a new printing of Earthworms. Asks for details.
Sends CD an abstract of his 1871 paper on the earthworm, and requests information on the phenomenon of luminosity.
Can CD explain why in a mollusc (Bulimus decollatus) immature forms are always broken at the apex.
Summarises letter of William Nation [13350]. The facts given strongly support the conclusion that there is some close connection between the parasitic habits of birds that lay their eggs in others’ nests and the fact of their laying eggs at "considerable intervals of time".
