To H. W. Bates 19 February [1868]
Summary
CD in utter confusion about differences between J. O. Westwood and HWB on division of certain insects. Asks if HWB will homologise certain families for him, telling him which terms would be most generally understood.
Asks also about differences on sound-producing organs of Achetidae Gryllidae.

From W. S. Dallas 19 February 1868
Summary
The Athenæum article [review of Variation, 15 Feb 1868, pp. 243–4] is a disgrace.
WSD will keep CD’s queries about Hemiptera in mind. Secondary sexual characters are certainly more marked in exotic than in British species.
