Sorry he was out when CD called.
Sends a note on the ferment of the Nepenthes secretion, which he asks CD to forward to Nature if he thinks it worth while [see "Insectivorous plants", Nature 12 (1875): 251–2].
Looks forward to reading CD’s statements about reflex action in Insectivorous plants.
Has prepared paper ["Physiology of the nervous system of Medusae", Rep. BAAS (1876): 158–63] in which he insists on occurrence of reflex action in absence of nerves. Would like to cite CD’s authority for occurrence of reflex action in plants.
CD has been elected an Honorary Member of the Akademie.

Has received but not yet read Insectivorous plants.
Regrets he is too busy to accept CD’s invitation to visit Down, but could only thank him again for saving the Zoological Station from shipwreck.
Italian translation of Variation will at last be published; will await second [English] edition to incorporate corrections.
Asks permission to translate Expression.
The second [Italian] edition of Origin is now in press.
JDH will arrive by train on Saturday.
Will be delayed on Saturday because of unveiling of a monument to Sir J. Franklin at Westminster Abbey.
Thanks for Insectivorous plants.
Believes Lepidoptera are of greater importance as fertilisers in alpine regions than in lowlands.
The famous stone pits of Ohningen are for sale.
Encloses copy of description of an outgrown stump. Refers to letter [missing] in which CD reports on a case of amputation. Would like to check J. Simpson’s cases before thinking everything is settled.
JDH reports his battle with Lord Henry Lennox over whether to locate new Herbarium on the Queen’s or public part of Garden.
