Reminds WBDM of his promise of information about the quartz boulders and an iceberg with fragment of rock seen in southern ocean.

Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Walter Baldock Durrant Mantell
Date:
10 Apr [1856]
Source of text:
Alexander Turnbull Library, National Library of New Zealand (Mantell papers, MS-Papers-0083-268)
Summary:

Thanks WBDM for his reply [missing] to CD’s previous letter [1603].

Asks for more details on the erratic blocks.

Asks also if there is good evidence that there formerly existed [in New Zealand] some animal with hair, like an otter or beaver.

Finally, do the uncivilised natives have the same ideal of [human] beauty as Europeans?

Thanks WBDM for the particulars on the iceberg.
