Kongress in Birmingham betr.

Sends a correction note to the work of his son 'Dove, Karl: Das Klima des aussertropischen Suedafrika mit Ber Berücksichtigung der geographischen und wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen' published in No. 22, 1889 of the Literarischen Centralblatt and asks for it to be printed in the Literarische Centralblatt. The work is only partly a dissertation; and in its extended form an important scientific book. I haven't found the desired sales in Germany yet, despite benevolent reviews by Hann, Partock, Günther, etc.. In this context, the practice at German libraries of only acquiring books by already renowned scientists complains about, whereas young up-and-coming authors are not supported.

Postponement of a session.

Thanks for Wieners accession to the Committee of the Biological Society.

Arrangements about a planned lecture by Prof. Abderhalden (Halle); request whether Wiener would be prepared to take over a further lecture.

The sender's concern about too many visitors of the planned lectures; printing of posters; joy about the promise of Wundts to give a lecture about thinking animals.

Request whether a lecture evening at the Institut Wieners would be possible.

After the rejection of the Senate's university bill, it will be examined how the Hamburg Colonial Institute can be expanded. Question to Meumann what would require the foundation of a philosophical institute. Possibility for Meumann to use the relevant funds partly for educational-psychological research.
