Encloses some notes on maize that may be useful.
Thanks AE for his book [Estudios sobre la flora y fauna de Venezuela (1877)].
Asks whether glaucous plants in Venezuela are more common in drier areas.
In London and wishes to meet JDH.
Invites CD to Kew.
He has obtained further evidence that rats gnaw through lead pipes for water. CD’s opinion that they hear trickling confirms his view that they possess reason.
Insectivorous plants.

Has been reading Samuel Haughton on geological time ["Notes on physical geology, no. III", Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 26 (1877): 534–46]. It is utter rubbish. Asks whether CD thinks GHD should write a critical note on the subject [see Nature 17 (1878): 509–10].
Asks for subscription for A. H. Everett’s cave explorations in Borneo.
Is sure CD is pleased with Albert Gaudry’s new book [Les enchaînements du monde animal dans les temps géologiques (1878)].
