Summary:
Admires Wallace’s Island life.
Criticises: 1. His view of similar plants on distant mountains – CD prefers previous low-land connections to Wallace’s summit–summit dispersal;
2. Source of warmth for ancient Arctic climate;
3. Origin of S. Australian flora.
CD’s favourite cases in Movement in plants.
