Has been reading Samuel Haughton on geological time ["Notes on physical geology, no. III", Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 26 (1877): 534–46]. It is utter rubbish. Asks whether CD thinks GHD should write a critical note on the subject [see Nature 17 (1878): 509–10].
CD at first thought GHD should not answer Haughton [see 10689], but Hooker thinks if no correction is made Haughton’s error will be quoted for 20 years. CD is now inclined to agree.
Recounts some figures relating deaf-mutism and consanguineous marriages.
GHD has failed to be elected to the Royal Society.
CD believes few or none have attributed deaf-mutism to consanguineous marriages.
Is frustrated to see, from a paragraph in Nature [18 (1878): 242], that Charles Lagrange has got hold of the same sort of ideas as he has.
Erasmus is unwell.
Asks for sketches of [Thalia] pistil, in which he is much interested.
Refers to Charles Lagrange, who is working on the same subject as GHD, but in a fundamentally different way.
Rejoices that "Lagrange’s case does not seem very bad".
CD is working hard at dissecting Thalia. Has recovered some handiness with microscope.
Sends drawings of specimens [of Thalia] CD requested.
Thanks GHD for his drawings [of Thalia]. Some parts need attention.
