DCP-LETT-9073

From:
Hubert Airy
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
26 [Sept-Nov] 1873
Source of text:
DAR 159: 31
Summary:

The Royal Society referees have rejected HA’s phyllotaxy paper, and it will not be printed in Philosophical Transactions. HA is not sorry for he has found new facts which limit the applicability of his views. Now believes that the original leaf arrangement was not necessarily always two-ranked but rather that existing arrangements have developed from a variety of forms with differing numbers of leaf-ranks.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
27 Sept 1873
Source of text:
DAR 95: 280–1
Summary:

Had read Tyndall’s letter [Nature 8 (1873): 399] – awfully savage, but certainly a great mistake to print it.

Thinks JDH will think better of Clerk Maxwell’s paper after he reads it.

Asks whether JDH could find out for him the temperature of rain in very hot countries.
