122 SIR WILLIAM FLOWER chap, v., 



the modification commenced is as difficult as ever to under- 

 stand. 



Romanes is still in Madeira. He is not able to do any work, 

 but a letter from his wife this morning to mine says that he is 

 greatly improving in health. 



I hope that you read some account of the meeting on the 

 2ist for the Owen Memorial. It was generally considered very 

 successful ; the best report was in last week's Nature.
