May 18. 1876.
Dear Sir
I send by this Post, registered, another parcel of your M.SS., up to & including page 300, with copy.1
I beg to draw your attention to
Tables 44. (p 206 yours, 250 mine)
and 74 (300 " 361 ") in which there appear to be errors in adding up the heights of the self-fertilised plants.2
I am, | Your obedient Servant | E. Norman
Chas. Darwin Esqre. F.R.S &c | Down.
P.S. | I calculate 6 of my pages = 1000 words.
In Table 12. (77 & 78 my page by yours) there is an error in the adding up of the Crossed Plants; I have consequently left the total in pencil, and also left blanks in subsequent places where numbers are quoted depending on the total.
