A forthcoming volume projected to include reprints of ARW's contributions to the Fortnightly Review 1878, 1887. Presumable these are ARW's articles on Epping Forest and on American Museums, and the volume in question could be ARW's Studies Scientific and Social (Macmillan 1900).

Summary:

JDH writes to Sir William Turner Thiselton-Dyer regarding some photographs of Wedgwood & Tassie medallions depicting Sir Joseph Banks & his wife [Dorothea]. Discusses the fee he should be paid by the Ceylon [Sri Lanka] government for completing the flora [A HAND-BOOK TO THE FLORA OF CEYLON]. JDH is enjoying working on the plants in detail. He intends to use [Charles Baron] Clarke's work as reference for Cyperaceae though he will also need to refer to specimens. JDH criticises [Henry] Trimen's work [on the Ceylon handbook], particularly for referring the generic description of genus Caprifoliaceae to the ordinal for Viburnum. JDH mentions that when he was in India he was offered the Directorship of the [Peradeniya] botanic garden, Ceylon, after [George] Gardner died. JDH suggests that Thiselton-Dyer apply to the Board for administrative help during the absence of the Assistant Director [Daniel] Morris. JDH is sending Morris his recollection of the St Michaels from his Glasgow years as Morris is interested in oranges.

Summary:

ARW mentions CR's letter of about a week or two ago about carbonic-acid gas in glacier water, but ARW is writing his article and may not need ?information? He mentions the son of a friend, on a geology course, but in poor health; could he be with Ordinance Surveyors in the field? He is very keen on geology.
