Encloses a report on state of appeal for Naples Zoological Station.
Regrets he cannot comply with request because of his work and poor health.
Delighted to have seen correspondent’s "wonderful experiment" at Royal Society.
Interested in TMR’s investigation of drift. Narrative 1: 545–6 contains catalogue of shells collected. Much struck by marine productions of Tierra del Fuego.
Recommends that JM consider publishing a new edition of J. F. McLennan’s Primitive marriage [1865]. CD considers it very valuable and not too indelicate.
CD is rather disappointed by the money raised for Dohrn. Had hoped for £700–800.
