observations & views of others are
spoken of. I quite agree with
the remarks in pencil (signed
J F W H) to the effect that there
are some passages of this nature
that the Society cannot consent
to print. I have made a
note (opposite p. 58 of Vol 7) res-
pecting the manner in which the
observations of Mr Jones (an
American <s>(<\s>attached to the Japan
expedition) are mentioned. All
that is said is justifiable if
only the phraseology were slightly
altered. There are also in
the Paper here and there sen-
tences that would be improved
by less freedom in the style
of composition.
I am, My dear Sir,
Yours very truly
J. Challis
