Sends three specimens of Aldrovanda verticillata.
Would like to see the pigeons, though he is not likely to work on the subject again. When he hears from Dr Scully, he will present them to the British Museum.
Has not had time to use the information about earthworms yet, but hopes to use it in about a year’s time.
Thanks GK for the seeds of the Melastomaceae
and skins of the pigeons,
and forwards a note to Dr Scully.
Asks to see notes on Indian worm-castings.
Obliged for letter on worm-castings. Asks GK to observe them in southern Europe.
Thanks for information on worm-castings. Comments on disintegration of castings.
Thanks for specimens and information about worm-castings.
