Cannot at present accept Lady Herschel's invitation to Collingwood. Is getting married.
Wants JH to name the circle of uniform temperature of the ocean near the equator. Explains the circle of uniform temperature.
Going to the Arctic. Wants suggestions for experiments. Will pursue barometric experiments. Royal Society has not published his Antarctic research. Will send those documents to JH first for revision.
Speculates on name for JR's 'hot and cold basins' and on causes of equatorial heat and polar cold.
Congratulations on completion of 'Herculean labors' represented in Cape Results.
