Summary:
Thanks for 5th edition of his book [Natürliche] Schöpfungsgeschichte.
CD continues with his experiments on the digestive power of plants, which is much like that of mammals.
Is also preparing a revised edition of Descent.
Would welcome hearing more of his ideas about Pangenesis.
Postscript about Anthropogenie, which has just arrived. EH’s astonishing productivity.
