Thanks CD for specimens of, and curious facts on, the "harvesting ant".
CD gives his opinion on how the physiological laboratory at Kew should be equipped. It would be a pity if the laboratory were not supplied with as many good instruments as their funds could provide.
Talk of a subscription to help JT’s experiments. Progress of experiment; loss of fungus-resistance in varieties as they age.
On germination of wheat.
Can supply Drosera if CD wants some.
