Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Tibbats Stainton
Date:
11 June [1860]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections MSS DAR 17)
Summary:

On what kind of moth have pollen-masses of orchids been found cohering? Will ask Mr Parfitt if he is certain he recognised pollen-masses of bee orchid. CD thinks green masses were those of true Orchis.

[In P.S., having received a letter on subject from HTS responding to same query published in Gard. Chron. 9 June 1860:] It is extremely curious that the same moth has been found with pollen-masses in two parts of England.

Charles Robert Darwin

Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections DC AL 7/1)
Summary:

Ice could not have formed the blockages in Lochaber unless in every case the water escaped over some col into a contiguous valley on the same watershed, or into the eastern watershed. Supposes that the cols were not land-straits, but the places where the lakes were drained when forced to flow the wrong way.
