DCP-LETT-10080

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Robert Lawson (Lawson) Tait
Date:
20 July [1875]
Source of text:
DAR 221.5: 28
Summary:

CD returns MS of a paper by RLT. "If you have succeeded in separating the ferment, the fact is manifestly important." Asks whether RLT tested the digestive ability of fluid from pitchers without animal matter. This would be necessary to prove that there was ferment in the fluid. CD is glad to hear about the [passage?] for guiding insects; he had guessed this to be the case.

22 July [1875]
Source of text:
DAR 221.5: 29
Summary:

CD sends words that he is too busy to work on the Drosera RLT has sent. CD also regrets that the fluid on virgin pitchers of Nepenthes was not tested with white of egg. Until that is done, he doubts whether physiologists would admit the presence of the ferment.
