Explains why he has declined writing a review for Messrs Appleton.
Returns CD’s MS [of entomological section of Descent] marked with suggested alterations.
Suggests qualifications about rudimentary horn in female Onitis furcifer [See Descent 1: 372].
Sends additional data on colour differences in sexes of longicorn Coleoptera [See Descent 1: 367–8].
Suggests a modification of CD’s view of female coloration that would bring him "nearly into harmony" with Wallace.
