Lists land birds of Galapagos and discusses their distribution on mainland of S. America.
Thanks PLS for list of Galapagos birds.
Mentions note he will add to Journal [of researches (1860)]
and correction he will make in Origin [3d ed. (1861)].
Asks PLS about variability in "abnormal parts of birds".
Informs CD that Sylvicola aureola may be a distinct species but is a close ally of S. aestiva of N. and S. America and perhaps only a "climatic variety".
Thanks PLS for information about variation in birds. Asks for more information.
CD has signed the enclosed with great pleasure.
