Asks AG to sign an enclosure [see 9291].
Signs Robert Swinhoe’s certificate [for the Royal Society] with pleasure.
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.
Comments on several points in Descent,
doubts facts about Monacanthus brushes
and the two Cyprinidae males attending the female when spawning.
