Sends geese to CD.
Crossbreeding of Chinese and common geese; believes they may be same species.
Crossbreeding experiments with geese.
Would like CD to write a paper on the results of geese experiments; hopes CD will not object to his doing the same despite the variance of their conclusions [see F. B. Goodacre, "Question of identity of Chinese and domestic goose", Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. (1879): 710–12 and CD’s "Fertility of hybrids from the Chinese and common goose", Collected papers 2: 219–20].
Can dispose of CD’s geese if he wishes.
The hybrid geese FBG sent to CD were brother and sister from the same hatch. Would greatly value a copy of Nature containing CD’s letter.
Would like a museum set up illustrating origins, varieties, and uses of domestic animals; seeks CD’s approval of the idea.
