JDH/2/16 f.23, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Summary:
JDH asks Thiselton-Dyer to give his opinion on a letter JDH has drafted to the Trustees of the British Museum, concerning JDH's Antarctic collections. Daniel Oliver has already given his opinion but does not consider JDH's position regarding the Royal Society. A copy of the letter will be sent to the Archbishop of Canterbury [Archibald Tait]. JDH refers to an enclosed magnolia [not present] which Alexander MacCleay calls fuscata but which differs from the plants under that name at RBG Kew.

Summary:
CD may keep the photograph of "the holy Mary of Egypt". TLB may have been led away by his imagination in thinking that one side of the face expressed repentance and the other devout joy.
Comments on David Ferrier’s observations on electrical stimulation of the brain. Extent of response relates to intensity of stimulus.
Crichton-Browne’s observations on the asymmetry of convolutions on the two sides of the brains of maniacs.
