DCP-LETT-2307

From:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
[13 or 15] July 1858
Source of text:
DAR 100: 116–19, 168
Summary:

Sends proofs [of "On the tendency of species to form varieties … ", read 1 July 1858, Collected papers 2: 3–19]. CD could publish his abstract [later the Origin] as a separate supplemental number of [Journal of the Linnean Society].

JDH has studied in detail CD’s manuscript on variable species in large and small genera and concurs with its consequences. Discusses methodological idiosyncrasies of systematists, e.g., Bentham, Robert Brown, and C. C. Babington, which complicate CD’s tabulations.
