Down Farnborough, Kent. Discusses the difference between two genuses of barnacle, Chthamalus and Balanus and mentions specimens sent, and encloses a drawing of the two; has been going through Thompson's collection and finds it admirable. Comments on Thompson's book, does not like the separation of English and Latin text. Recommends a book by E. S. Dixon on poultry as it is very good and amusing. Is headed to Malvern to try a water cure.
