Asks to meet EB for a walk in the Zoological Gardens.
Is so unwell he must cancel appointment to meet at Zoological Gardens.
Many of EB’s remarks about Origin [4th ed. (1866)] are new to CD.
Thinks of writing a short essay on man.
Struck by EB’s remarks about orang. They are similar to Carl Vogt’s remarks on origin of man from distinct ape families.
Thinks similarity of orang to Malay must be accidental.
Will send Variation when it is published.
