Composition of "Droserin" [see 10015].
Has CD ever come across Dischidia rafflesiana?
Has extracted a highly deliquescent substance from digestive secretion of insectivorous plants.
His paper [for Royal Society] is completed; would CD like to read it?
RLT’s paper will be sent to CD. Will CD notify him of any serious defects?
RLT’s paper on insectivorous plants is being copied.
Because CD has been unwell, he has not read RLT’s paper carefully, but it seems an important contribution to science. Hopes RLT’s chemical observations will be confirmed. It seems a great anomaly that two substances with an acid should be requisite for digestion.
RLT’s insectivorous plants paper.
The success of a recent lecture.
