Signs Robert Swinhoe’s certificate [for the Royal Society] with pleasure.
Comments on several points in Descent,
doubts facts about Monacanthus brushes
and the two Cyprinidae males attending the female when spawning.
Thanks for recent edition of CD’s Journal of researches.
Asks AG to sign an enclosure [see 9291].
Has given in Descent 2: 12, an account from AG of the brushes on the sides of Monacanthus; has now learned of brush-like scales on the males of Mallotus. Asks whether the two genera are related.
Encloses a circular [9384?] to explain the predicament he is in. Asks whether AG can get anyone at the British Museum, other than Owen, to join J. E. Gray in signing.
Believes the account of the Mallotus in American Naturalist [5 (1871): 119] is trustworthy.
