DCP-LETT-7848

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
3 July 1871
Source of text:
DAR 103: 69–70, DAR 205.2 (Letters): 240
Summary:

Plans to write an account of his trip to Morocco and, with John Ball, the botanical geography, for Linnean Society.

Results mainly negative; the Atlas exhibits "the dying out of European flora".

Only two or three beetles above 8000ft.

Disappointed that Canary Island species are absent from Atlas mountains; but an ocean current along Moroccan coast should help migration of Spanish, Portuguese, and Moroccan seeds to Canaries and Madeira.

Describes Lyell’s poor physical condition. Asks CD for his observations of symptoms.

DCP-LETT-7851

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
6 July 1871
Source of text:
DAR 103: 71–2
Summary:

He did observe that Ophrys apifera fertilised itself as CD described and O. lutea as well.

Moroccans are too civilised, taciturn, and unfriendly to make anything of them for expressions of emotions.

Moraines and negative results on Atlas alpine flora are the only points of the journey worth much.

Date:
[2 Oct 1871]
Source of text:

Summary:

On Huxley’s article for Contemporary Review [see 7977] confuting Mivart. It has cheered him,

for he is very low about his mother’s state.

Source of text:

Sorry to hear of JDH’s troubles;

pleased he thinks so highly of Huxley’s article [see 7977].
