Summary:
Sends his paper on "Willow-galls" [Proc. Entomol. Soc. Philadelphia 3 (1864): 543–644].
Lengthy criticism of Agassiz’s views on species as stated in his Essay on classification [1857].
Interested by CD’s trimorphism in Lythrum. Thinks some great mystery may lie in the fact that in some genera, some species are tri-, some di-, and some monomorphic, and in other genera, Apis, Vespa, Bombus, all the known species are dimorphic.

Summary:
Took JH's box of specimens and had a discussion with William Logan, A. C. Ramsay, and some young surveyors, one of whom had examined JH's neighborhood. Similar rhomboids to the Irish ones have been located in Wales. Hopes to have a discussion on this subject later. Can JH give, or refer him to data, the temperature of celestial space without the sun? Returns the drawings with many thanks.
