T had a letter from Di Girolamo who is at present in Newcastle on Tyne 1 - Dept. of Chemistry -— King's College - telling me that he is a little sceptical about his results on an in- creased metabolism accompanying mating, because of a difference in the physiological conditions of the cells which he crossed (F- was stationary and F+ was logarithm). IT have asked him to write you a short summary of his results and let you know whether he is going to continue the work or not. He will be working with Gorini starting next month. All the best Lance L.L. Cavalli-Sforza
