Thanks for article by JH's son Alexander Herschel on meteors. Has printed it in Bulletin of the academy.
Spoke to Rosas, and gave him CD’s paper.
R.S.L. Council has decided to publish correspondence regarding the Melbourne telescope. Sends early pages for JH's corrections.
Has caught a frog and examined its possibly rudimentary toe. Asks THH if he will dissect it.
Has heard THH is abused in Edinburgh Review and in Anthropological Review [reviews of Man’s place in nature, Edinburgh Rev. 117 (1863): 541–69 and Anthrop. Rev. 1 (1863): 107–17].
Owen on heterogeny and the aye-aye.
Has been very ill.
Received JH's translation, which is better than any blank verse can do. Invites JH to visit Lyells.
