States that on page 556 a table is given of the results of Dover & page 556 states the results were obtained by aid of a Royal Society grant. As he is in the process of a rediscussion of the Dover tides, he wishes to examine Mr Connor's work, and informs that Darwin wrote to him that he has a vague idea, that the reduction work of Dover and Osten werre bound in two volumes. Seeks access to the two volumes.
