DCP-LETT-1225

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Hugh Edwin Strickland
Date:
10 Feb [1849]
Source of text:
Museum of Zoology Archives, University of Cambridge (Strickland Papers)
Summary:

HES’s letter will fructify to some extent: CD will try to be more faithful to rigid virtue and priority. Would not adopt his own notion in cirripede book without prior approval by others. Will not append "Darwin" to any of his species. Feels sure many others share his aversion.

Asks HES’s opinion on retention of generic name Conchoderma.
