Asks whether he may have right to translate Variation into German.
Would be great honour to have CV translate Variation, but Schweizerbart has arranged for J. V. Carus to do it.
Has read CV’s Lectures on man [1864] with extreme interest.
Will send CD a memoir on Les microcéphales [1867]; CV believes microcephalism is an atavistic abnormality.
Recommends H. von Nathusius’ work on domestic pig [Die Racen des Schweines (1860)].
Asks whether his former pupil, J. J. Moulinié, might translate Variation into French for Reinwald. CV would provide a preface. Encloses letter from Moulinié to Reinwald.
Thanks for CV’s Mémoire sur les microcéphales [1867]. Curious how CD and CV have come to similar conclusions about atavism.
