DCP-LETT-3523

From:
Henry Walter Bates
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
30 Apr 1862
Source of text:
DAR 47: 175, DAR 160.1: 67–8
Summary:

Discusses insects of south temperate S. America and New Zealand, especially with respect to the distribution and origin of Chilean Carabi, and has sent for a German monograph to learn about the eleven species he has found.

He refers to Chilean poverty in butterflies; scanty New Zealand insect fauna.

An analysis of south temperate insects is desirable, but the small English collections make him afraid to undertake it.
