JDH lays hard treatment of John Scott to J. H. Balfour’s anti-Darwinism.
Has heard from Julius von Haast that some of his letters were lost before leaving New Zealand. Haast’s enclosure for CD has been forwarded.
Haast and James Hector have both sent accounts of their travels in New Zealand.
JDH and Oliver impressed with CD’s observations on gyratory motion of plants.
CD pleased with Bentham’s Linnean Society address on the reception of Darwinism [J. Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. 7 (1863): xi–xxix].
JDH’s social "dogma": "Brains x Beauty = Breeding + wealth".
