Criticisms and comments on JDH’s "Insular floras" in Gardeners’ Chronicle [(1867): 6].
CD should not be discouraged by the bulk of Variation. CD’s suggestion to print technical details in small type is good.
Murray has sent MS to a "man of letters and good information" as an experiment to test its effect. Has no intention of throwing up publication.
Sends paper on new species of Bonatea, to which he has given the name Darwinii.
Has now an extensive collection of insects.
Has discovered moths whose larva cases resemble perfectly the thorns of the Acacia horrida.
Has asked for the head of a Bushman murderer. Difficult to convince authorities of interest of science.
