Interested to hear about the peas.
Discusses feather as case of evolutionary atavism.
Will soon publish on siliceous sponges
and the skin of caterpillars.
Paralysis of the nervous system of Dionaea. Uses of tails of mice.
Has received the MS and thanks Flower for his notes and corrections which will be of great use. Expected he had made more errors but supposes from Flower's silence on this point that the sketch is tolerably complete. Hopes with his wife to have the pleasure of seeing Flower next Wednesday evening.
