Cover containing some seeds mentioned in the letter to H. C. Watson, 28 May [1864], f.2 (S 4512).
Sends, for identification, specimens of bees and wasps which fertilise orchids. [Notes in FS’s hand on the same sheet identify the specimens.]
CD much obliged for specimen and drawings.
CD wants WED to make some measurements on mid-styled [Primula sinensis] plants.
Asks DO to give enclosed [letter?] from John Scott to Hooker.
JS’s work on orchid self-sterility; Acropera has 371250 seeds in one capsule.
Wishes something could be done for Scott.
Thanks HBD for his note. The analogy of surnames had not occurred to CD – only that of language generally, as shown so well by Lyell. Fears HBD’s argument about progression would not have much weight.
Salmon and trout increase in size with river.
Wishes to show CD fish hatchery near Hampton Court.
Quoted CD’s book on self-destruction within species in a salmon arbitration case.
Sends "2 pods ¼ gr each" to tide CD over.
Asks CD to sign some "Sunday tickets" [for the Zoological Garden?].
