Brown.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dawson’s lecture has nothing new. Absurd to assume Greenland under water during whole of glacial period. Suggests absence of certain plants in Greenland due to seeds not surviving in sea-water. Suggests an experiment on vitality in sea-water of plants that might be in Greenland. Is more willing to admit a Norway–Greenland land connection than most other cases.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Urges JDH to warn Tyndall on his glacial theory of valleys in Switzerland.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Is working on cultivated plants.</p>
