Would much like to see Dr Birchfield appointed superintendent of the new asylum at Woking.
As Honorary Secretary of the Botanical Congress he asks that CD’s name be listed as a member of its committee.
Discusses the stinging habits of wasps and bees and whether or not they leave their sting in the wound.
Feels sure that at times the globe must have been superficially cooler. Believes CD will turn out right with regard to migration across the equator via mountain chains, while the tropical heat of certain lowlands was retained.
