Discusses homologies in various animal groups.
Comments on Mivart [Genesis of species].
Thanks for FD’s help. CD cannot conceive what Mivart means by "the identity between eyes of Cephalopods and Vertebrata".
Has invited Michael Foster to Down.
Discusses animal drawing showing expression.
Thanks for the photographs.
Delighted to hear from Lyell of JDH’s return from successful ascent of the Atlas Mts.
Fears JDH found no Madeira or Canary types, but CD is pleased at his moraine discovery.
Thinks Lyell’s health is serious.
Comments on CVR’s book [Third annual report on the noxious, beneficial, and other insects of the State of Missouri (1871)].
Discusses mimetic insects.
