Summary:

Little work remaining in calculations for JH's nebulae. Likes JH's plan to represent 'the quantification of different qualifications' by numbers. Hold payment until work is done. Astounding disturbances in 'magnetic curves' (1841-1857). GA now accepts usefulness of magnetic observatories.

DCP-LETT-3796

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Asa Gray
Date:
6 Nov [1862]
Source of text:
Gray Herbarium of Harvard University (78)
Summary:

Agrees Max Müller’s book [see 3752] is interesting but cannot see how it will further his "cause".

A book by J. W. Colenso [The Pentateuch and book of Joshua critically examined, pt 1 (1862)] has just appeared and will "make a noise".

Would like some observations made on Cypripedium.

Will not publish yet on Lythrum as he must make many more crosses; the mid-styled is fertile with half of its own stamens.

Would like to try a few experiments on tendrils.
