JDH compliments Sir William Thiselton-Dyer on part 1 of the HAND-LIST [OF TREES AND SHRUBS GROWN IN ARBORETUM at RBG Kew]. His only criticism is that those that need to be grown under glass, in the Temperate House, should be marked. [Otto] Stapf has sent JDH [José Camilla] Lisboa's letter & grasses, which incl. 1 new species. JDH thinks the Bombay Government should be advised to delay Lisboas 'insane attempt' to publish a list of Bombay grasses until after the FLORA OF BRITISH INDIA volume 7 is out. JDH continues to struggle with Indian synonomy, for example Cynodon dactylon is mixed up with Paspalum sanguinale. In a post script JDH praises WTTD's 'notice of [Sir George] Watt & paper on the Royal Society. He comments on recent criticism of the Royal Society as a result of [Sir John] Evans & [Sir Michael] Foster attempting to raise the Society's public profile. JDH is particularly concerned about an article on money awards given with Society medals & wonders how [Herbert] Rix can respond. JDH is currently checking the names of Lisboa's Isachnes[?] & thinks all the species on Lsiboa's list should be checked at RBG Kew before the list is published.
