General
A reply to Adanson’s letter of 30 Juillet (no draft in this collection), criticizing Bonnet’s “Palingenesie.” Defends himself, quotes in full a letter of Spallanzani of 11 Sept. 1769 on snail’s head reproduction. Will treat Bomare more gently than Adanson did him, but was frank on his Dictionnaire deficiencies. Asks Adanson to show this letter to B. de Jussieu. Signed: “Palingénésiste.” No reply, [cf. AD 167].
