Has obtained fossils from Gibraltar that he believes are human. Requests Lyell’s address so that he can send the bones.
Thanks for LAR’s book [The land and freshwater mollusks indigenous to, or naturalised in, the British Isles (1863)].
Attended the lectures given by JH's son at the [Royal Institution] and Michael Faraday and Bence Jones think he should not be considered for the post at the Geographical as he is cut for more scientific things. Would like JH's views.
