Ill health.
At work on Variation.
Reading JDH on Welwitschia.
Letter from Lyell defends his position on species.
Anger at Owen.
John Lubbock’s lectures.
Sends copy of his December letter [see 3851], which he fears is lost.
Has been in the Southern Alps and has discovered a wonderful pass.
At CD’s request HBD has traced the quotation; it is on regeneration from Charles White in W. B. Carpenter’s Comparative physiology (1854), p. 480.
Is gratified that CD thinks some of the arguments in his book [Lectures on the germs of disease (1861)] are satisfactory.
