Declines to review WC's recent work, and then JH justifies his position for the rest of the letter.
Thanks WC for the work he has completed on JH's behalf.
Has not read article on binocular vision. Gives his views on this subject. Sends a copy of a paper he read at Leeds on visual impressions.
Thanks for his report on dredging operations. Comments on the findings.
Discusses WC's ideas on the causes of oceanic circulation. Notes that wind currents are easier to study than water currents. Glad WC got his specimens of Mediterranean water.
