Summary:
Thanks CD for two letters and his portrait.
CD’s book [Orchids] opened up terra incognita for him.
His work on S. African butterflies continues.
Reports on a moth that punctures peach skins.
Interesting that thoughtful naturalists are forced to admit mutability of species.
Some notes on Oxalis.
