Explains source of error [in Earthworms].

Bonney is an "objector general".
CD has always supported A. C. Ramsay.
It is impossible to trace the direct connections between stimuli and responses in plant movements. Disagrees with much of Julius von Wiesner [Die Bewegungsvermögen der Pflanzen (1881)]. Disagrees with CD on induced movements and circumnutation.
Praise for Earthworms.
Sends his observations on the behaviour of a worm. They seem to indicate some sensory apparatus enabling it to "see".
Asks her to translate a letter by W. F. P. Pfeffer. Mentions views of Julius von Wiesner.
Discusses additional printing of Earthworms.
