Writes about the Carl Vogt and J. J. Moulinié translation [of Variation].
Never imagined that the facts about sexual selection could be new to CD. Thought fact that brightly coloured females build concealed nests and almost all those in which sexes differ remarkably build exposed nests might be new to him. Some problems remain. Sends his notes for CD to use if he wants.
Is puzzled by two apparent contradictions in JH's recent book Familiar Lectures. Are they printer's errors? Was related by marriage with the late Sir John William Lubbock.
Invite JH to give lecture series at Literary and Philosophical Society next winter.
