JDH saw [Charles] Lyell, who was in shock about the bone caves in Borneo. Mentions subscriptions in support of Bishop [John William] Colenso. JDH's Father William Jackson Hooker is well. JDH is going to [Sir Joseph] Prestwitch's lecture on flint implements. Asks when Gunn is coming to London, suggests he attends upcoming Royal Society parties.
