Charles Robert Darwin

Leonard Jenyns; Leonard Blomefield

[May–Sept 1842]
Source of text:
Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution
Summary:

Glad to hear that LJ will repeat his notes to Gilbert White’s [Natural history of] Selborne [1843] in a separate work.

Critical of G. R. Gray’s attaching his own name to Furnarius cunicularius [in Birds, pp. 65–6]. Strickland’s nomenclature laws are needed to check egoism.

Is sending fish skins and bottles off to Cambridge Philosophical Society.
