Thanks for RDF’s Australian orchids [1874]. It comes just as CD’s Orchids [2d ed.] is going to press.
Sorry to hear of JLGK’s troubles. Cannot organise a subscription but sends £5.
Thanks for another part of Australian orchids.
Has not studied Geum, but suppression of one sex is not rare in plants.
Will use TW’s case of gynodioecious Ranunculus if he prints a new edition of Forms of flowers.
Asks TW not to send more information as CD does not expect a new edition of Forms of flowers.
TW’s Stachys case is what he calls gynodioeciousness.
Thanks for pt 4 of Australian orchids [1874–].
Thanks for JLGK’s article [see 8331].
CD thinks it a pity that Owen shows so little consideration for the judgment of other naturalists.
Is glad JLGK has been interested in Descent.
Thanks him for his observations on monkey behaviour [see 8698]
and drawings of skulls, which CD has sent to George Busk.
Thanks JLGK for photos of natives of Queensland.
Asks if he can observe whether worms throw up castings in wet weather.
Seeks support for election of his nephew, Henry Parker, to the Athenaeum.
