DCP-LETT-1654

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Davy
Date:

Source of text:
Royal Institution of Great Britain (Box XVII, 210)
Summary:

Discusses JD’s paper ["On ova of salmon"]. His experiments are of particular value regarding power of dispersal and geographical distribution and would make of them a very different subject. Hopes JD can test again the tenacity of life of non-developed ova being less than that of those fully developed – a result which surprised CD.
