Thanks society of students at Jena for birthday congratulations.
Thanks EK for kind letter.
CD’s date on epitaph is a dreadful mistake. CD often overlooks errata.
CD thanks RLT for his two notes, a newspaper article, and a copy of RLT’s address honouring him.
Thanks for articles by ASW in Gardeners’ Chronicle [see 12404]. Agrees with him.
Asks about growth of rootlets from knobs caused by fungus on roots of Cruciferae.
At the inaugural meeting of the Epping Forest & Essex Naturalists’ Field Club, CD was elected an Honorary Member.
Torbitt too poor to go on with [potato] experiments. If anything is to be done it must be by Government.
Would be glad to see RLT at Down if he thinks it fit to come there to deliver the address honouring CD.
Has been at work on Orchideae for Genera plantarum and has found CD’s Orchids wonderfully useful. Comments on some problems of botanical terminology.
Thanks AD and the naturalists at the Station for their birthday congratulations.
CD has been awarded the Bressa prize of the Accademia delle Scienze in Turin, and it occurs to him that if the Station wanted some apparatus costing about £100, he would like to pay for it.
CD pleased to be of use to GB. He remembers his own work on orchids with pleasure. Thinks GB will be able to improve CD’s terminology for orchids.
Asks CD’s help in obtaining data on finger-prints – both of ancient impressions in pottery and of living men of all races. Suggests a comparative study with similar markings of lemuroid monkeys might yield results of value about man’s origin. Gives the practical utility of prints in identification in criminal and legal studies and investigations. Encloses a form.
Enjoyed his visit to Down.
Agrees not to reply to Butler.
Testimonial for S. B. J. Skertchly, stating CD’s high opinion of his work.
Asks CD to telegraph a testimonial for him.
Thanks correspondent for a gift of books.
Thanks for the honour conferred upon him by the Epping Forest Field Club.
Seed germination.
Strange that his plants [of Megarrhiza] behaved differently from AG’s [see 12455].
On clubroot fungus of cultivated Cruciferae.
Will give Russian wheat varieties another trial.
On instinct in insects. Intends to experiment as CD proposes.
