From T. H. Huxley 8 December 1874
Summary
K. G. Semper’s article ["On the relationship of the Vertebrata and Annelida", Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 15 (1875): 94–5] is ill-natured. Misinterprets facts already discovered by F. M. Balfour.
Has been working on Amphioxus. Puts his theory of vertebrate skulls on firm footing at last.

From T. H. Huxley 23 December 1874
Summary
Entirely sympathises with CD about Mivart’s attack on George. THH has had a letter from Mivart in which he pleads guilty, but THH has decided there is no patching the matter up. Advises against doing anything unless Mivart takes initiative.
