Summary:
Wishes to publish a paper in "Linnean Transactions" on 'Fucus'; it will include an examination of [John] Stackhouse's theories on the subject and expand on a similar paper published by [José Francisco] Corrêa [de Serra] in "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society" ['On the Fructification of the Submersed Algae']. Has been compelled to write it after a review of "Nereis Britannica" erroneously stated that Velley's work ["Coloured figures of marine plants"] was written in support of [Carl Friedrich von] Gaertner's [(1772-1850)] theory on the propagation of 'Fucus'. Believes it would compliment similar [Samuel] Goodenough's paper ['Observations on the British Fucus'].
