Knows nothing about missing fossils collected by J. L. Stokes.
Flattered by JBJ’s discussion of coral reefs [in Voyage of H.M.S. "Fly" 1 (1847): 347–8]. CD has always thought his Coral reefs "too bold and speculative", so he is gratified "when anyone who has had opportunities of observation does not give his verdict against it".
The Geological Society cannot recommend anyone to the Government of Newfoundland, but CD advises JBJ to get a recommendation from Sedgwick.
Advises JBJ on preparing himself for geological work in Newfoundland.
Thanks JO for intending to dedicate his The Andes and the Amazon to him.
The discovery of marine shells high up the Amazons CD finds extremely interesting.
Has forwarded the horse’s tooth, sent by JO, to Huxley, who may be able to identify it.
Thanks JO for his The Andes and the Amazon.
Is sorry he has failed to get any information on the horse’s tooth.
