About a Polish edition of Variation.
Comments on Hermann Müller’s article on the structure of Gunnera flowers.
Thanks for THH’s essay on species [article for an American encyclopedia].
Will probably never again write on large and general subjects; will keep to easier specific ones such as insectivorous and climbing plants.
Is glad CD is working on cross- and self-fertilisation; reports recent works of botanists, notably Thomas Meehan’s ["Are insects any material aid to plants in fertilisation?", Philadelphia Press 13 Aug 1875], in which the importance of cross-fertilisation is denied.
Thanks CD for consenting to present his paper.
Asks whether he may send two or three other tubes [of boiled infusions] to be placed in the open and observed for him.
