Describes Drosophyllum and its habitat.
He has found abundant Drosophyllum in Andalusia.
Thanks GM for specimens of Drosophyllum; by a strange coincidence CD has also received plants from a correspondent in Oporto [W. C. Tait].
He is managing to salvage a few Andalusian Drosophyllum plants from the voyage and will send some to CD.
Thanks GM for specimens of Drosophyllum.
He has observed several instances of animals’ tails lying to the left in rigor mortis. Is this a general rule?
Believes the flexure in GM’s dead animals must result from the greater strength of the muscles on the left side. Thinks his son George once tested the strength of each leg of a group of boys, and CD could get his notes if wanted.
