Has read EH’s History of creation [trans. E. R. Lankester (1875)]. Was much struck with many "brilliant & original remarks". Is gratified by the way EH speaks of CD’s books.
RLT’s paper on insectivorous plants is being copied.
Thanks for the peas which arrived in "beautiful order".
Communicates a paper by Lawson Tait to the Royal Society [not published by Royal Society, see 10452].
