To:
Henry Denny

Source of text:
American Philosophical Society (Mss.B.D25.)
Summary:

Can hardly believe he made a mistake in specimens sent to HD. Recopies numbers in case he transposed them. [Has to do with lice taken from a specimen of aperea and put into spirits during Beagle voyage.]

DCP-LETT-2435

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Denny
Date:
23 Mar [1865]
Source of text:
American Philosophical Society (Mss.B.D25.120)
Summary:

Interested by HD’s information on aperea; CD had concluded that it was not the progenitor of domestic guinea-pigs.

Is unsure what HD means by "stock-dove"; properly this is Columba oenas and the domestic pigeon is C. livia.

Suggests that the Zoological Society might arrange for some specimens [unspecified] to be supplied from the Gardens.
