Thanks THH for the delightful evening he gave Frank [Darwin].
Asks whether THH will attend Council of Royal Society and speak for him on Joachim Barrande and J. D. Dana.
Asks for a ticket for THH’s lecture at the Royal Institution for WED. With ED’s and HED’s forgeries of CD’s signature.
Comments on natural selection. Sometimes he can persuade himself that it is of quite subordinate importance, but so many structures have been explained by it that he can also persuade himself that every structure developed through it. Cites H. G. Bronn’s list [of structures not explicable by natural selection].
Responds to THH’s questioning of his observations on cirripede anatomy with extensive discussion of what he observed. Admits his elementary knowledge of microscopical structures but seriously doubts he has erred. Cement glands, ovarian tubes, etc.
Sends copy of 2d ed. of Origin, with list of corrections.
Is at work on "fuller work" [Variation].
