Would like to know the results of CD’s Utricularia experiments.
A Brazilian love-bird, escaped from captivity, has been found in a robin’s nest, apparently starved to death along with three young robins.

To D. F. Nevill 29 December 1874
Summary
CD thought he had already reported to DN on Utricularia. The large swellings in roots store water. The minute bladders are adapted to catch live animals and feed on decayed remains.
Will visit DN when in London this winter.
