JH's letter of 9 Feb. has left him in high spirits. Is also pleased TM's paper was communicated to the R.S.L. Will make arrangements to collect parts of the meteorite and send the 4 lb. part to JH. G. B. Airy consents that Greenwich Mural Circle be sent to Cape Observatory. Will request more engineering personnel for Colonial Survey.
A note accompanying some machine-made mathematical curves.
Concerning polarization of light rays in crystals of quartz.
