Thanks for CD’s letter, and further discussion of the sale of Tromer Lodge.
Thanks for Movement in plants.
Describes work [on Pflanzenphysiologie, 2 vols. (1881)].
Sends his book [Naturwissenschaftliche Thatsachen und Probleme. Populäre Vorträge (1880)].
Anxious to receive Movement in plants because CD’s methods may be applicable to his experiments on the earliest movements of animal embryos.
Praise for Movement in plants.
He thinks G. A. Chatin, whom CD quotes [p. 389], is mistaken about movement of conifer leaves. Cites his own paper ["Relations between morphology and physiology in the leaves of certain conifers", J. Linn. Soc. Lond. (Bot.) 17 (1880): 547–52].
