Suggests advantage to students of adding coloured drawings of the coral-producing zoophytes in next edition of Coral reefs.
Thanks for his suggestion about drawings for future edition [of Coral reefs].
Has read RLT’s essay [The pathology and treatment of diseases of the ovaries (1874)] with interest. His facts about tumours seem to CD "highly favourable to some such notion as Pangenesis".
