Summary:
The house at Barmouth.
His poor health.
Bentham’s interesting Linnean Society Address ["On geographical biology", Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1869): lxv–c].
CD particularly wishes to know how botanists agreed with zoologists on distribution.
Still thinks isolation more important in preserving old forms than Bentham is inclined to believe.

Summary:
Recounts the trip back from St Petersburg – visits to botanic gardens and museums throughout Western Europe.
Pleased that CD admired Bentham’s address [see 6793]. JDH had read it in MS and modified some very heterodox passages about insularity. CD has hit the flaw in it.
F. A. W. Miquel is a convert.
