From S. P. Woodward 5 June 1863
Summary
Has been writing a notice of H. W. Bates’s "capital book" [Naturalist on the river Amazons (1863)].
P. M. Duncan’s coral paper [J. Geol. Soc. Lond. 29 (1863): 406–58] strengthens SPW’s belief in the general diffusion of marine forms westward in the course of time.

To P. H. Gosse 5 June [1863]
Summary
PHG’s hypothesis [regarding the self-fertilising mechanism of Stanhopea] may prove quite true, but CD suggests that PHG should observe another spike to make sure. CD will observe his Stanhopea if it flowers.
