Must cut short visit to Down because of domestic problems.
Hopes to get afternoon train from Victoria.
Woolner comes on Sunday morning.
Left his box of plants in dog-cart [on his visit to Down].
More on Naudin’s hybrid; the wonder lessened slightly.
JDH’s view that insular plants [distantly] related to those of continents are common came to him only after the lecture was in print; has not yet thought it out fully.
Moroccan flora may throw some light on Madeira flora.
Cannot come to Down; John Smith is unwell.
Will go to Paris again at end of month.
Wallace and F. J. H. von Mueller of Victoria are most likely candidates for Royal Society Gold Medal for biology.
Encloses letter from Henry Barkly.
