Doubts the half-bred Gallus sonnerati will be productive, though he was assured many years ago that such a fertile half-breed once occurred.
Orders John Pye Smith’s book [Relations between the Holy Scriptures and some parts of geological science (1839)].
Asks TCE’s advice on preparation of birds’ skeletons.
His pigeon collection is growing; now has pairs of ten varieties.
Has TCE observed whether hybrids of Chinese and common forms [of geese] were wilder, or less tame, than both parents?
Thanks for facts about ducks.

Thanks AGC for some notes and his book [Darwinism refuted by researches in psychology (1872)].
