DCP-LETT-7995

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Thomas Henry Huxley
Date:
9 Oct [1871]
Source of text:
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Archives (Huxley 5: 289)
Summary:

Asks whether THH has written on affinities of Eocene cetacean Zeuglodon. Wants to cite it in 6th ed. of Origin as in some slight degree an intermediate form, but does not know how far he may venture.

Has had more evidence of profound impression of Mivart’s book [Genesis of species].
