Thanks for cirripede specimens. Describes progress [on Living Cirripedia].
Sends presentation copy of Fossil Cirripedia.
Returns cirripede specimens to AAG. Encloses specimens for Louis Agassiz in same box.
Since AAG is a member of the Ray Society, will not send him a copy of Living Cirripedia, vol. 2.
If AAG is no longer member of the Ray Society, CD would like to send copy of Living Cirripedia, vol. 2.
Writes regarding CD’s query on yellow-billed cuckoo and the laying of eggs in other birds’ nests.
Thanks AAG for procuring an authoritative answer from T. M. Brewer on the habits of the [American] cuckoo. Surprised William Yarrell erred so much.
Wishes AAG had time to give an account of Japanese shells, which would be interesting from the geographical point of view.
