Thanks JWF and G. R. Waterhouse for cirripede specimens.
Asks to borrow FK’s specimen of Conia rosea. Would like to know if FK collected it himself [in S. Africa] or was given it, because CD has a closely allied species from Australia, which surprises him. [See Living Cirripedia 2: 335.]
Extremely sorry for trouble he has given about his signature.
One child dangerously ill with diphtheria, another with much fever.
Thanks JP for bearing in mind his strong wish to learn any facts on inheritance at corresponding ages, and on correlation of growth.
JP’s case of teeth affected by syphilitic parents seems very curious. Would like to hear a few particulars when they meet.
Has received [C. L.?] Brehm’s work [unspecified]. Will return it in two or three weeks.
Asks JP to remember him if anything occurs to him "in regard to inheritance at corresponding or rather earlier ages". Sends JP a few examples for his "Chronometry of life". CD is sure he often met with striking facts but he disregarded them. "Deviations alone would have struck me."
Effects of different climates on breeding periods.
