DCP-LETT-3878

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Thomas Henry Huxley
Date:
28 Dec [1862]
Source of text:
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Archives (Huxley 5: 189, 19: 209–12)
Summary:

Returns Kingsley’s letter [see ML 1: 225 n.].

Lectures [to working men] would do good if widely circulated.

On sterility, they differ so much there is no use arguing. To get the degree of sterility THH expects in recently formed varieties seems to CD simply hopeless. Has suggested a test experiment to Tegetmeier [two fertile birds paired and unproductive].
