Contents of an envelope. Chiefly letters of application and enquiry to Bateson.

Large volume used for recording plant-breeding experiments. Contains pencil notes: entries in the hands of Bateson and his colleagues. Sketches sometimes accompany the notes. Parts of the book are in the form of a log; other entries list seeds or seedlings received. Foliated '1-158'; not all pages used. An index to the contents is at the front (before the foliated pages begin). 26 letters to Bateson, dated 1913-1925, are pasted into the volume in various places. (4217-4245). Many of the correspondents appear to have sent seeds to Bateson for cultivation. Some further pages of notes, photographs and, occasionally, printed matter are also found pasted in.

Correspondents include A.W. Hill and members of the Sutton family (owners of the Royal Seed Establishment, Reading).

Divided into 3 folders for ease of reference. Correspondence to Bateson, almost entirely from R. Staples-Browne, with several pages of Staples-Browne's manuscript experimental data on heredity in pigeons.
