128 GEOEGE JOHN EOMANES issi- 



long as you allow yourself to stand among this noble 

 army of martyrs. Two or three pages of the ' Nine- 

 teenth Century ' on one, say, of the following topics 

 would be all that we should want : — 



' The limits and safeguards desirable in carrying 

 on scientific experiments on animals.' 



' Mistaken humanity of the agitation : real 

 humanity of vivisection.' 



' The Eoyal Commission and its report.' 



Or any other topic connected with Vivisection on 

 which you may feel the spirit most to move you to 

 write. 



Any further information that you may desire I 

 shall be happy to give ; but please remember how 

 much your assistance is desired. 



This is a very delightful place, though not very 

 conducive to work. If any of your sons are in Scot- 

 land and should care for a few days' sport with other 

 scientific men on the spree, please tell them that they 

 will find open house and welcome here. 



The proofs of my book on Animal Intelligence 

 are coming in. I hope your work on Worms will 

 be out in time for me to mention it and its main 

 results. 



Ewart has pitched his zoological laboratory at 

 Oban, so as to be as near this as possible. I shall go 

 down when I can to keep his pot of sea-eggs upon 

 the boil. 



I remain, very sincerely and most respectfully 

 yours, 



Geo. J. Komanes.
