Cirripede fossil specimens returned.
Has finished the last proof of his monograph [Fossil Lepadidae] and returns WH’s specimens. Has named two new species from the collection.
Asks EL to request the Council [of the Ray Society] to permit him to have nine plates [for vol. 1 of Living Cirripedia] instead of eight (of which two were to be in colour) and a tenth plate if he pays for it himself.
Thanks for specimens. Will return books on Monday.
Thanks JWF for [cirripede] fossils; one species seems from a new formation.
Regrets that his health makes it necessary to decline an invitation.
Sends condolences to WDF on the death of his father. Has brought his daughter [Anne] to J. M. Gully for the water-cure.
