Thanks for information about Pliocene mammal. Interested in relating process of formation to duration of the species. Oswald Heer’s view that species suddenly formed surely false.
Bad summer with much sickness. Going to Malvern [for water-cure] for a month.
Muddled over phyllotaxy and made out nothing.
Sends address.
Comments on BAAS meeting at Newcastle.
Cannot come to London until Tuesday. Arriving about 11: 15.
[Copley] Medal very great honour. Cordial thanks.
Chuckled over [Gaspard-Auguste] Brullé and pupils.
Splendid converts in Rudolf Leuckart and Carl Gegenbaur.
Gratified to receive Copley Medal. Cannot attend anniversary [of Royal Society]. Would HF receive medal for him?
Much pleased by Edward Sabine’s address.
Grateful to HF for his interest [in the award of Copley Medal to CD].
"I return your letter to [William] Sharpey." Grandest eulogium CD has received.
