Journal," I., 1857, page 140, "On the Vitality of Seeds after prolonged Immersion in the Sea." It appears that in 1843 the mud was scraped from the bottom of the channels in Poole Harbour, and carried to shore in barges.

On this mud a vegetation differing from that of the surrounding shore sprang up.) Adios, my dear Hooker.

I thank you most honestly for your assistance--assistance, by the way, now spread over some dozen years.
P.S .-- Wednesday.

I see from my wife's expression that she does not really much like my going, and therefore I must give up, of course, this pleasure.
If you should have anything to discuss about my MS., I see that I could get to you by about 12, and then could return by the 2.19 o'clock train, and be home by 5.30 o'clock, and thus I should get two hours' talk.

But it would be a considerable exertion for me, and I would not undertake it for mere pleasure's sake, but would very gladly for my book's sake.
LETTER 333.
