Does not feel his abstract of Cross and self-fertilisation [Am. J. Sci. 3d ser. 13 (1877): 125–41] was thorough enough.
Has heard of their sad bereavement last autumn [death of Amy, wife of Francis Darwin].
Lithospermum longiflorum has cleistogamous flowers and, unlike other species of genus, it is not dimorphic.
Asked C. E. Bessey whether Lithospermum longiflorum was dimorphic like its relatives. Encloses CEB’s reply.
Has two young friends who wish to call on CD.
Has received CD’s book [Forms of flowers]; thanks him for the compliment of the dedication.
