Asks AG to sign an enclosure [see 9291].
Has given in Descent 2: 12, an account from AG of the brushes on the sides of Monacanthus; has now learned of brush-like scales on the males of Mallotus. Asks whether the two genera are related.
Signs Robert Swinhoe’s certificate [for the Royal Society] with pleasure.
Comments on several points in Descent,
doubts facts about Monacanthus brushes
and the two Cyprinidae males attending the female when spawning.
