Requests a specially bound copy of Smith's "Insects of Georgia" for the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Asks for recent specimens of Lichens used in medicine or in the arts, and whether any foreign author has recently written on the anatomy of plants.

Received the two volumes of Smith's "Insects of Georgia". Thanks for Lichen specimens.

Visit of Mrs Kett [of Seething Hall, Norfolk] to Oxford Botanic Garden, "it is singular on any occasion to meet a lady who is really conversant with plants". Informed that Smith is "destroying" a new 'Verbascum', hopes that Smith will soon examine this genera but believes Smith better employed working on 'Gramina' and mints ['Mentha']. Informed of Smith giving the name 'Campanula alpina' to his plant 'Campanula rhomboidea', which resembles 'Campanula pulla' in habit and foliage. Accepts Smith's offer to send specimens of each species and variety of mint ['Mentha']. After seeing Smith's new genera in last issue of "Linnean Transactions" suggests that the name 'Danbeia' be given to a new genus in honour of Henry Danvers [Earl of Danby (1573-1644)], founder of Oxford Botanic Garden.
