Thanks for Lectures on the elements of comparative anatomy [1864].
If Owen wrote article on "Oken" [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 8th ed.] and French work on archetype he never did a baser act [see ML 1: 246 n.].
Bad health lately.
Admires THH’s article on Kölliker’s and Flourens’ criticisms of Origin [in Natural History Review (1864): 566–80].
Appreciates THH’s note more than Medal.
Encourages THH to write a popular treatise on zoology.
Sends Mrs Huxley a quotation from Tennyson, with sarcastic comment.
Asks CD to sign certificate nominating Flower for Royal Society.
No doubt that Owen wrote "Oken" and the archetype book, which appeared in its second edition in French.
Pressures of work and family.
Surprised at Kölliker’s misunderstanding; of Flourens he could have believed anything.
Family news.
His pleasure at Royal Society Copley Medal for CD. Recounts meeting of Royal Society Council.
