Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Did not receive Smith's letter asking him to attend the Carrow Bridge Bill [in the House of Commons] until it was too late [this was a contentious scheme to build a bridge over the River Wensum at Carrow Abbey, near Norwich, for which an Act of Parliament was passed on 31 May 1809]. Apologises for being a "lazy and unprofitable associate of the Linnean Society". Has conclusively proved that 'Picus medius' is not a species and is only the young of 'Picus major'.
