DCP-LETT-1573

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
27 [June 1854]
Source of text:
DAR 114: 121
Summary:

CD gives his definition of "highness" and "lowness" as "morphological differentiation" from a common embryo or archetype. JDH’s view, with which CD agrees when it can be applied, is the same as Milne-Edwards’, i.e., the physiological division of labour. There is little agreement among zoologists and CD admits his own lack of clarity.

DCP-LETT-1576

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
[29 June 1854]
Source of text:
DAR 205.9: 383
Summary:

JDH on "highness" of Coniferae: they are genuine Dicotyledons, not a link to cryptogams; that is a geologists’ fallacy. Thus they are highest plants in Carboniferous.

Does not agree with CD’s "elastic" species theory. Long correspondence with Lyell on this.
