Obliged for the new edition of The Andes.
Thanks JO for his The Andes and the Amazon.
Is sorry he has failed to get any information on the horse’s tooth.
JO found fossil shells in the Amazon Valley, which discredits Agassiz’s claim of a glacial origin.
Would like Huxley’s opinion of the fossil horse’s tooth from Quito.
