Makes suggestions for Thomas Edmondston, naturalist on board the Herald, of places to visit and geological data to collect on proposed California expedition.
Thanks for reply to queries.

Is rabbit wild in Shetlands?
LE’s information on drifted trees adds an archipelago to his list.

Thanks for rabbit.
Are there dun-coloured ponies in Shetlands? Are they striped?
