Has been reading Samuel Haughton on geological time ["Notes on physical geology, no. III", Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 26 (1877): 534–46]. It is utter rubbish. Asks whether CD thinks GHD should write a critical note on the subject [see Nature 17 (1878): 509–10].
Asks for subscription for A. H. Everett’s cave explorations in Borneo.
Is sure CD is pleased with Albert Gaudry’s new book [Les enchaînements du monde animal dans les temps géologiques (1878)].

The amphicarpic habit.
CD at first thought GHD should not answer Haughton [see 10689], but Hooker thinks if no correction is made Haughton’s error will be quoted for 20 years. CD is now inclined to agree.
AG’s review of Joseph Cook ["Lectures on biology", New Englander 37: 100–13].

Thinks Thomas Meehan is as "rattle-brained" as Joseph Cook.
