Criticism of Nelson, who received £500 p.a. on top of his salary, plus £2000-£3000 expressly for his services re. Epping Forest. Views on Transvaal. "It is simply abominable that we should at the present day actually take away freedom from a people of European race who claim and defend it and have always done so!"

Dates carvings to between Palaeolithic and Neolithic eras. Mentions Sir Antonius and Mr. Cole. Will meet Meldola at six on Tuesday.
Travel arrangements to Buckhurst Hill. Tell Mr. Cole that he has a large map to hang up, and will also require a lamp. Glad Meldola likes his "climate" theory. "If I have really hit upon the true solution of this great puzzle it will I think be the best thing I have done yet. Like most of my theories it came to me while writing, for when I began my book I had no notion of how to treat it; I only felt then that there was a great hitch in Croll's theory." Croll has been unwell.
