Sends a copy of his Osteologia avium.
Variation in pigs’ heads
and in Convolvulus.
Pleased at success of JDH’s address. Has read several press reports.
Spectator pitches into JDH about theology ["Dr Hooker on the evidences", 22 Aug 1868, pp. 986–7].
Feels JDH has "immensely advanced the belief in evolution of species".
