DCP-LETT-3234

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Obadiah Westwood
Date:
15 Aug [1861]
Source of text:
Oxford University Museum of Natural History (Hope Entomological collections)
Summary:

As a general rule CD thinks it best to deposit specimens in the British Museum, and "bitterly regrets" he did not send all his specimens there. Nevertheless he agrees to sending his crustaceans to the Oxford Museum.

CD is at work on Orchids. He would be greatly obliged if JOW could send him specimens of pollen-masses attached to head or base of proboscis of moths.

Asks for reference to Morren’s paper that JOW mentioned before [see 2862].
