DCP-LETT-718

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
George Robert Waterhouse
Date:
[3 or 17] Dec 1843
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections MSS DAR A 3)
Summary:

Comments on GRW’s paper [Rep. BAAS (1843): 65–7; Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 12 (1843): 399–412]. CD says by "link" between any two groups he never understood a half-way link, merely one in a long series. Observes that one cannot have a simple species intermediate between two great families. Criticises GRW’s use of circles to represent groups, which leads to thinking that groups are of equal value.
