Morning with H. C. Watson; discussed problems of inferences from buried seeds.
Has left a book from Henslow for JDH at Athenaeum.
When Asa Gray wrote, did he send marked sheets [of his Manual of botany]?
Has just made out "new & wonderful" specific character between two of his pigeon breeds.
When JDH goes to Germany, will he ask seed men if their marvellous true breeding lines are the result of selection.
