Further discussion of the process of aggregation in response to [10137].
Tells CD of his many experiments on interarching vines, potato tubers, exudation of carbon dioxide from roots,
and the synchrony of the pulse and the step while walking.
Would like to meet CD.
Thanks for GR’s "Address" [see 10141].
Wishes he had not quoted Bagehot’s remark [in Descent 1: 239] about decrease in savage populations. Interest in subject.
Has observed a dun pony with black stripes.
Intends breeding native fowls and will happily furnish CD with any information he can.
Discusses the domestication of animals.
