Sorry the corrections were so tedious, and offers to do revises.
Sends an article for FD.
Is glad he is able to work on his teasel paper [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 26 (1878): 4–8]; suggests some observations FD could make.
Thanks for papers and letter; has been working in the mornings on teasel.
Asks for reference to an article on a mandrill.
Has seen notice on Empetrum but cannot understand how leaves in bud could act as fly-catchers.
Asks FD to write on his behalf and say that he is unwilling to join a deputation [on vivisection] and that he believes in the need to protect physiology as well as lower animals.
Asks FD to mollify Daniel Oliver and assure him that CD asks "only for what I wd. give my life’s blood for".
Asks for details of dimorphism in Sethia from Thwaites, Enumeratio plantarum Zeylaniae [1864]. [See Forms of flowers, p. 122.]
Forwards letters.
Lists the tasks he has completed; sends on letter from Romanes; news of Bernard.
Asks FD to forward some eczema mixture to Southampton for him
and to hunt out notes on earthworm activity at Beaulieu Abbey.
Offers to send MS of part of his new book [Life and habit] which gently pokes fun at CD. His book will offer an alternative to Pangenesis.
His father thanks WMM for his letter about the elephant case [see 11214]. If the story is true, CD thinks that the fruit must contain some alkaloid such as that in Indian hemp.
Nomenclature for kinds of heliotropism.
SB’s book [Life and habit (1878)] will be bound shortly. He will send two copies, one of which can be given to CD. To SB’s surprise it has turned out to be an attack on CD’s views and a defence of Lamarck; describes how he was brought to the opinions expressed in it.
Forwards an unspecified work for FD to read.
FD has sent proofs; nutating of Ricinus; Horace Darwin and the wormograph.
Sends letter and seeds from [F. J. Cohn].
Is working too hard.
Thanks ASW for Aegilops seed.
Will publish Origin first
and then Descent.
AS is looking for a job in a zoological museum or accompanying an expedition.
