Response to Origin. Praise for summary of chapter 10 and chapter 11.

The dissimilarity of African and American species is ‘necessary result of “Creation” adapting new species to the pre-existing ones. Granting this unknown & if you please miraculous power acting’.

Communicate papers by CD and A. R. Wallace on "The Laws which affect the Production of Varieties, Races, and Species".
