Thanks JS for orchid paper [Trans. Bot. Soc. Edinburgh 7 (1863): 543–50]. JS presents excellent new facts on sterility of orchids.
His argument that coloured primroses are not hybrids is good, as is idea of discovering primrose parentage by breeding for colours.
A memorandum describing the expressive behaviour of a cat with added notes by CD.
Describes in vivid detail the account of an 'extraordinary meteor' in October 1854. Given by a person from Hurworth.
Sending papers to JH and would be glad if he would communicate them either to the B.A.A.S. or some influential journal.
