Plans to visit Down.
Overjoyed at having met CD.
Sends a paper by William Whitaker [? "On subaerial denudation", Q. J. Geol. Soc. Lond. 23 (1867): 265–6].
Thanks and praises CD for Earthworms.
Praises G. H. Darwin’s letter ["On the geological importance of the tides", Nature 25 (1882): 213–14] which criticises the use made of George Darwin’s views by Robert Ball ["A glimpse through the corridors of time", Nature 25 (1881): 79–82, 103–7]. JWJ argues from the fineness of Cambrian sediments against Ball’s intensification of geological forces. Massive Carboniferous river deltas also contradict Ball’s excessively high tides.
