Asks to borrow woodcut from Palaeontographical Society for use in Living Cirripedia, vol. 1.
Thanks for report [on echinoderms, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 2d ser. 8 (1851): 1–19]. Wanted to learn about metamorphosis of the class. Agrees with THH’s distinction between individuals and zooids, but thinks zooids will never cease to be called individuals.
Finds he needs four woodcuts for the introduction [to vol. 1 of Living Cirripedia], which calls for quick action. Will send entire MS by the end of the month.
Will bring MS [of vol. 1 of Living Cirripedia] on the last day of July, and proofs of the eight plates now engraved will be sent soon. CD has failed to get materials for the one coloured plate he wanted, so none will be in colour. There will be ten altogether. He will ask later whether he must pay for the extra one. G. B. Sowerby Jr comes next day to complete drawings for two not yet engraved.
Asks to borrow an old pair of GN’s dissecting scissors so that Weiss & Co. can use it as a model.
Health has been poor.
Has finished MS on pedunculated cirripedes for Ray Society [Living Cirripedia, vol. 1 (1851)].
Asks EL whether he should use both Latin and English descriptions of specific characters [in vol. 1 of Living Cirripedia].
Sends completed MS [vol. 1 of Living Cirripedia] with instructions for the printers; reviews number of plates and woodcuts, and offers to pay for extras and for excess corrections, if they occur. Hopes the Council [of the Ray Society] will print his second volume at the end of the ensuing year.

Regarding the Tithe question. Thinks there are some in the parish who would sign a document for JH. Would he let him know the form to adopt.
