Agrees to look over MS.
Approves terms used in LAE’s manuscript. Discusses relative advantages of self-fertilisation and cross-fertilisation.
Thanks LAE for pointing out erratum [in Cross and self-fertilisation].
Regrets that LAE went to Down for nothing.
Thanks LAE for publication [Errera and G. Gevaert, Sur la structure et les modes de fécondation des fleurs, 1ère partie (1878)].
Comments on book by LAE and Gustave Gevaert [see 11916].
Regrets not seeing CD.
Congratulates CD on election to French Academy.
Young Belgian students [L. A. Errera and Gustave Gevaert] ask CD to read their paper, which summarises Cross and self-fertilisation. They criticise CD’s views on the comparative effects of crossing flowers on the same stem and fertilisation of a flower by its own pollen ["Sur la structure et les modes de fécondation des fleurs", Bull. Soc. Bot. Belg. 17 (1878): 38–181, 182–248].
Sending MS.
Used Anton Kerner’s nomenclature for designating crosses.
Thanks CD for Forms of flowers.
CD has made clear that in Cross and self-fertilisation he had not intended to suggest that autogamie (fertilisation of a flower by its own pollen) is superior to gitonogamie (fertilisation of a flower by one on the same plant).
Sends his photograph as requested.
