Sending a copy of W. D. Conybeare's most recent publication; also his own Bridgewater treatise. Is grateful for his gift of luminous animals, which he has deposited in the College of Surgeons. Richard Owen has been giving the best lectures ever given. Dr. [William?] Smith is to exhibit his collection at Bulloch's museum. Is anxious to know what kind of fossil quadrupeds are to be found at the Cape.
Thanks for paper. Discusses fossils, 'singular' land formation in Cape area. Asks WB to remember JH to 'geological friends' and tell [Charles] Daubeny of JH's specimen of Daubeny's root.
Recommends CD’s paper on "Formation of mould" [Collected papers 1: 49–53; read 1 Nov 1837] be printed in Transactions. Praises it as establishing a new "geological power".
Express their concern that the offer for sale to the British Museum, by G. A. Mantell and Thomas Hawkins, of two valuable collections, has been declined.
Three positions are vacant at Oxford due to the death of S. P. Rigaud. Would JH be interested in applying for them as it would be a great honor to have him at Oxford.
