Thanks correspondent for two essays.
Thanks correspondent for article on CD in Gardeners’ Chronicle.
Thanks OH for his book [see 9876]; agrees that the sudden appearance of many dicotyledons in the Upper Chalk is a perplexing phenomenon for the evolutionist.
No uniform edition of CD’s works has appeared in England.
Thanks for publication [Berste bijdrage tot een nauwkeuriger kennis der sessile cirripedien (1875)]. Cannot read Dutch. Mentions PPCH’s research on cirripedes.
Thinks CD is right about the retention of a tail.
Discusses function of the eyebrows in protecting the eyes from sweat.
Mentions notices in the Nation.
Thanks for his suggestion about drawings for future edition [of Coral reefs].
Has read RLT’s essay [The pathology and treatment of diseases of the ovaries (1874)] with interest. His facts about tumours seem to CD "highly favourable to some such notion as Pangenesis".
Would be glad to make RLT’s acquaintance, but CD’s health would make RLT’s visit to Down unprofitable. Suggests a meeting in London at end of month.
Thanks for copy of lecture (Rusden 1874: Selection, natural and artificial, a lecture delivered in the Wangaratta Athenaeum by Mr. H. K. Rusden on Monday, October 26th, 1874) and essay (Rusden 1872: The treatment of criminals in relation to science, an essay read before the Royal Society of Victoria).

Seems to be in error about the nests of the two flycatchers.
