He has defended Tyndall, CD, and others against attacks of a clergyman.
Sends CD parts of the Annales [Soc. Bot. Lyon] in response to his request for a particular article.
States that, despite CD’s work, he does not believe that any plants, including insectivorous ones, can utilise organic material, and that they live solely on mineral elements in the soil and air.
