Observations on Gossypium varieties.
No summary available.
Compares earlier and more recent pound determinations and finds interesting results; wants GA's opinion on the accuracy of his work, as JH wishes to send it to the India committee.
Declines the opportunity of writing an article on the Great Pyramid for Good Words, especially as he disagrees significantly with Charles Piazzi Smyth's views. Might write an article on another subject.
Has forwarded RT’s paper on Bonatea to the Linnean Society [J. Linn. Soc. Lond. (Bot.) 9 (1865): 156–60].
The Oxalis sent by RT flowered but CD has made out only two forms; he thinks there ought to be three, so would welcome more seed.
