Summary
The translation of Humboldt’s Kosmos [Cosmos (1846–58)] is delayed.
Gives instances of peculiar genera with several good species in very small islands. Scarcity of insects on islands.
JDH cannot prove that there is much hybridising, but does not see why there should not be. "Bother variation, development & all such subjects, it is reasoning in a circle I believe after all."

Cannot doubt that Atlantic dust comes from Africa. Could Gulf Stream have brought South American organisms to African coast?
Has come to same conclusion as CGE on volcanic origin of Patagonian stone. Formation extends 550 miles.
Could CGE examine Pampas mud to see if Infusoria are freshwater or salt-water? Results would be important.
