Reversion of tamed animals to wild behaviour.
Glad to have JJW’s opinion on nest-building. Wallace’s view [that skill is learned] is opposed to many facts.
Asks JJW about birds and their behaviour.
Wants information on the first plumage of different breeds of canaries.
Is reading CD’s instances of inherited peculiarities of eye [Variation 2: 8–10]. Gives cases of colour-blindness of males in his family.
