Germination of Cactaceae; CD wants seeds. Site of action of growth-stimuli.
On earthquakes, and the generation of massive sea-waves that accompany them.
Will exhibit the photos at the Entomological Society and have them identified.
Fritz Müller’s observations on relative abundance of mimicking and mimicked species.
Sends Ledum, the nectar of which catches many insects.
Describes his Primula varieties.
Has received Ledum with its captured flies.
"At present I care for nothing in this wide world except the biology of seedling plants."
Doubts Ledum warrants investigation. Glands probably serve only to protect the flowers against crawling insects, which would not cross-fertilise them.
Found a live mussel attached to a blue-winged teal’s foot. Had the bird not been shot, the mussel might have been transported miles.
Recounts some figures relating deaf-mutism and consanguineous marriages.
GHD has failed to be elected to the Royal Society.

WTT-D’s statement perverted by Times [4 May 1878, p. 6, on WTT-D’s Royal Institution lectures on vegetable morphology].
S. H. Vines’s work on light inhibition of Phycomyces hyphae ["The influence of light upon the growth of unicellular organs" (1878), Arb. Bot. Inst. Würzburg 2 (1882): 133–47] suggests heliotropism in green plants is independent of, and more primitive than, photosynthesis.
Heliotropism in aerial roots.
Frank Darwin’s work.
