[Extract of letter to WJH from T. E. Cantor] on zoological distribution in the Malay Peninsula.
Delighted that Brongniart thinks Sigillaria aquatic, and that E. W. Binney thinks coal is a sort of submarine peat. Thinks coal-plants will prove to be aquatic, though JDH will sneer at this.
Has acquired a new microscope.
CD defends his position on submarine coal formation and coal-plants against JDH’s strong objections.
Thinks JDH should arrange his facts against the aquatic formation of coal.
CD would like to call on JDH.
Will call on JDH on Thursday, if convenient.
Has heard JDH does not return until tomorrow, so will not be able to see him at Kew but hopes to do so at Oxford meeting of BAAS.
Bunbury and Falconer strongly against idea of coal being submarine.
