Descriptions of the algae specimens found on the Beagle voyage.
JDH’s proposed India trip.

CD is getting on wretchedly with cirripedes.
Will send village carrier for volumes [of the Trans. Agric. & Hortic. Soc. India].
[Copy made by CD’s amanuensis.] Discusses the rarity of intermediate forms.
CD understands that JFR cannot lend him the volumes [of Trans. Agric. & Hortic. Soc. India] at present. Thanks for offer to inform him of other works on the breeds of animals in India.
CD fears his belonging to the new club [Philosophical Club of the Royal Society] would be useless, since he is seldom able to dine out.
Admires RP’s volume [Introduction to zoology, pt 1 (1846)]; he has condensed a great deal of accurate information. CD hopes some good naturalists will spring up as a result.
Thanks for H. C. Watson’s interesting letter. Disagrees with him on intermediate varieties.
CD has read latest numbers of JDH’s The botany of the Antarctic voyage [pt I, Flora Antarctica (1844–7)]; notes several sentences against "us Transmutationists".
