House-hunting in Wales and Gloucestershire; visit to Miss North.
Discusses a new argument against Romanes' view of selection.
About volume on popular Darwinism. Chapter on Variation and Heredity. Views of Spencer, Cope, Geddes and Weismann.
Thanks for the proofs of Weismann, plus comments on content.
Returning Weismann proofs. Mentions an old paper of his "The Action of Natural Selection in Producing Old Age, Decay and Death" written 20 years earlier. Excellent reply by Thiselton-Dyer to Romanes.
Returning proofs of Weismann's essays and enclosing ARW's earlier "Note" on the subject.
Sending revisions of chapter on mimicry.
Is going to Newcastle next Saturday, and also has a lecture at Sale, near Manchester on Tuesday. Has started on his work on popular Darwinism.
Encloses postage for umbrella Meldola returned. Has had a breakthrough with his hybridity chapter ... "in some cases nat. select. will accumulate variations in infertility between incipient species." Thinks he has made the issue a good deal clearer than Darwin left it.
ARW has been in Penzance, Land's End, Chepstow and Coleford with Annie. Details of holiday. Spent a week with Marianne North at Alderley.
The Meldola's are welcome to stay. Wants set of examination papers for the college entrance exam for Willie's mathematical master. ARW wants Willie to enter college in the mechanical engineering department in a year's time.
Can one of Meldola's pupils or assistants weigh some seeds for him in decimals? Has finished MS of his book.
Thanks for weighing seeds. About butterflies, and trip to Manchester on the 20th.
Asks if Meldola has the Electrotypes of Fritz Müller's mimicking Butts given in Proc. Ent. Soc. 1879 p. XXI as he would like it for his book. Also asks if Meldola knows of any other woodcut illustrating mimicry of any kind that he could get; new ones are too expensive as he would like his book to be cheap.
