From J. D. Hooker 29 December 1874
Summary
Explains that his letter had to do with how he should act publicly to Mivart if he retracted. He would not forgive him. If he does not retract, it would no longer be possible to keep him Secretary of the Linnean Society.

To W. D. Whitney 5 August 1874
Summary
Praises WDW’s essay on language [North Am. Rev. 119 (1874): 61–88] which argues against Max Müller’s views and is a good defence against an attack made in Quarterly Review on CD’s short discussion of language.

From J. D. Hooker 21 December 1874

His view of Huxley’s cutting Mivart without explanation. States his own intentions. Mivart’s apology in October Quarterly Review is abominable.

From John Tyndall 28 December 1874
Summary
JT had not known Lady Lubbock was ill. Will try to persuade her [to change physicians]. Agrees Andrew Clark is best.
Hooker has survived his crisis [death of his wife].
St G. J. Mivart’s act is a natural outflow of his character.

To Anton Dohrn 16 April and 9 August 1874
Summary
Has written to J. Murray to have account of the Zoological Station inserted in the Murray guidebook.
The circular about the Station has been printed; some have already signed.
Received R. Kossman’s paper on Anelasma ["Untersuchungen über die durch Parasitismus hervorgerufenen Umbildungen in der Familie der Pedunculata", Verh. Phys.-med. Ges. Würz. N. F. 5 (1874): 129–57]. The case is the most interesting ever recorded of gradation, i.e., from an animal with a stomach to one with roots like a plant.
Delighted he will examine the complemental males of Scalpellum.
