Is drawing up the account of his crossing experiments. Requests JDH to add the families after nine genera, the names of which he encloses. Whenever there is no objection he would like to arrange the families in some sort of natural order.
Recommends Spalding’s article on instinct in Macmillan’s Magazine [27 (1873): 265–81].
Delighted with John Traherne Moggridge’s book [Harvesting ants (1873)].
Has suggested he plant seeds in various receptacles. Only two explanations for failure of seeds to germinate [in ants’ nests]: lack of circulating air or formic acid.
Has undertaken a botany primer for Macmillan.
Will see whether formic acid delays germination of fresh seeds.
Thinks primer not at all a folly. Refers JDH to Asa Gray’s "child’s book" [see 8363].
