Was elected yesterday to the Registrarship of London University, and thanks JH for his support.
Would like his views on binocular vision. Regarding David Brewster's theories on this subject.
Thanks for his kind letter. Is surprised that the formation of flint attracted him. Comments on this and similar matters.
Is glad he is reconsidering the question of temperature. Regarding the deep sea thermometers.
Hopes that he found the report of the Porcupine Expedition worth his consideration. Sends a paper in which he examines the question of the Gulf Stream.
