DCP-LETT-1853

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Tibbats Stainton
Date:
13 Apr [1856]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections MSS DAR 16)
Summary:

Thanks HTS for Entomologist’s Weekly Intelligencer [no. 2, 12 Apr 1856]. Agrees with his remarks [in "Why did Mr Westwood get the Royal Medal?"], but explains that a change in rules for awarding the Royal Medal has been made. Earlier it had to be given for publications in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, which explains small number of entomologist recipients.

DCP-LETT-2829

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Tibbats Stainton
Date:
11 June [1860]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections MSS DAR 17)
Summary:

On what kind of moth have pollen-masses of orchids been found cohering? Will ask Mr Parfitt if he is certain he recognised pollen-masses of bee orchid. CD thinks green masses were those of true Orchis.

[In P.S., having received a letter on subject from HTS responding to same query published in Gard. Chron. 9 June 1860:] It is extremely curious that the same moth has been found with pollen-masses in two parts of England.

DCP-LETT-5903

From:
Henry Tibbats Stainton
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
20 Feb 1868
Source of text:
DAR 86: A6–7
Summary:

Sends a preliminary reply to CD’s query [5890]. Ten males to one female among captured micro-Lepidoptera. Six females to four or five males in those he has bred. HTS is aware this is diametrically opposed to information from [Alexander] Wallace and Bates, but the true proportion of sexes can only be ascertained by breeding.
