DCP-LETT-2440

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
30 Mar [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 115: 94
Summary:

Hopes Murray will publish after seeing MS [of Origin].

Demurs at JDH’s saying that CD changes climate to account for migration of bugs, flies, etc. "We do nothing of the sort; for we rest on scored rocks, old moraines, arctic shells, and mammifers." Has given up the Lyellian doctrine as insufficient to explain all changes in climate; CD has no theory about the cause of the cold.
