JDD is sending a copy of his book, Corals and coral islands [1872], with his compliments.
Thanks CD for Coral reefs [2d ed. (1874)].
JDD will correct his misunderstanding of CD on one point in the next edition of his book [Corals and coral islands].
Suggests CD consult Charles Wilkes’s Narrative [1844] for more accurate observations on Pacific islands.
