Has passed the time by dissecting flowers of Cruciferae. Sends results, with diagrams, to JDH.
Thanks for JDH’s letter [3725].
Has become interested in experimenting on Drosera.
Observations on the ovaria of Cruciferae.
Thanks for Haast’s observations. Particularly glad to get geological evidence of glacial action (in Southern Hemisphere).
Thinks Ramsay’s theory to large extent true, but thinks that in a much disturbed country some lakes would have been formed in depressions.
Encloses MS on observations and experiments on Drosera. JDH’s opinion will help him decide whether to pursue subject in some future year.
