His thanks for MGR’s valuable Anatomische Untersuchungen (1872).
Thanks for SL’s [Études sur les echinoïdées (1875)]. Nothing could be more difficult than the homologies of this group.
Expresses his gratitude and admiration for AK’s and M. G. Retzius’s Studien in der Anatomie des Nervensystems und des Bindegewebes (2 vols. 1875–6).
CAL’s letter [see 11885] would not be printed by the Geological Society as it is too speculative and has no new information.

CD invites MGR and his wife to lunch. Travel directions. Regrets that he will be unable to converse for more than an hour and a half. [See 12246.]
CD again has the pleasure of accepting another grand present, Das Gehörorgan der Wirbelthiere (1881).
Has sent his paper on Echinoidea [see 10373] as a token of his veneration. He tried to address the confusion in knowledge about the different parts of the exoskeleton of the Echinodermata by tracing certain relations of homology not previously noticed. Much more work is required.
