DCP-LETT-1871

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Charles James Fox Bunbury, 8th baronet
Date:
9 May [1856]
Source of text:
Suffolk Record Office, Bury St Edmunds (Bunbury Family Papers E18/700/1/9/6)
Summary:

On geographical dispersal of plants. Would be interested in CJFB’s views on representative species and on his hypothesis of a mundane cold period, which CD cannot prove geologically, but thinks, if it explains many facts of geographical distribution, may be admitted as probable. Hooker and Alphonse de Candolle do not agree with him.
