Arranges to call on GHL.
Will propose GHL for the Linnean Society.
Writes of his objections to GHL’s views.
Considers Weismann’s remarks on the importance of the nature of the organism as well as conditions of life in determining variability have much truth.
Disappointed that he missed CD. Hopes still to see him in the flesh.
Has CD seen August Weismann’s inaugural address [see 6297]?
Asks CD to propose him for Linnean Society.
Would like to have Lyell put his objections to GHL’s papers [Fortn. Rev. 9 (1868): 353–73, 611–28; 10 (1868): 61–80, 492–509] in the form of notes, so he can have them before him when he recasts his papers into a book.
