Had two mornings working on Drosera but it was sluggish. Frog preparations are pretty good.
Asks DO to return enclosed post-card with locality of Genlisea aurea specimen that DO had sent.
Proofs arrived and Francis is correcting them. Tells Emma Darwin that Amy is delighted about the azaleas. The Ruck family very much like Isabella Bird’s Six months in the Sandwich Islands.
Will send corrected proofs [of Insectivorous plants].
Returns corrected proofs [of Insectivorous plants].
CD sends words that he is too busy to work on the Drosera RLT has sent. CD also regrets that the fluid on virgin pitchers of Nepenthes was not tested with white of egg. Until that is done, he doubts whether physiologists would admit the presence of the ferment.
Proofs have come. It will be jolly coming down to Southampton.
Sends thanks for CD’s help in making him a Fellow of the Linnean Society. Dyer has sent some Erinem.
Sends Linnean papers.
[The black-balling of Edwin Ray Lankester by the Linnean Society] is a most scandalous shame. Will arrange for his own admission to fellowship of the Society.
