Points out errata in Descent.
WBT’s beard exceptional in that it is darker than his hair [see Descent 2: 319].
Has read the Field review of Descent ["Darwin on the descent of man", 37 (1871): 210]. Thanks WBT for his remarks.
Sends Field with an account of the cat show; examples of cats with three extra toes.
Sexual preference of a blue turbit.
CD did not return skull of the horned cock figured in Variation [1: 265].
One of WBT’s poultry skulls has been misplaced; CD cannot believe he neglected to return it.
