Thanks for a copy of Alexander Buchan’s Introductory text-book of meteorology (Buchan 1871).
CD writes about organising a subscription for Dohrn’s Zoological Station at Naples. Has drawn up a draft circular for naturalists to sign to show their support for the Station.
CD is glad to propose FMB for Royal Society. Explains information and certificates needed.
Praises FMB’s BAAS address [on embryology, Rep. BAAS 50 (1880): 636–44]. Recent progress of embryology splendid.
In work on plants, astonished at sensitivity of radicle and its power to transmit stimuli to adjoining part; such general sensitivity should be considered in genesis of nervous system.
Feels "malicious" pleasure at FMB’s criticism of Herbert Spencer.
Asks FMB to translate letter from Ernst Krause [answering criticisms by Samuel Butler] and to send it to Nature [ "Unconscious memory – Mr Samuel Butler" 23 (1881): 288].
Thanks FMB for translation of Ernst Krause’s letter for Nature.
