DCP-LETT-400

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Stevens Henslow
Date:
[21 Jan 1838]
Source of text:
Historical Society of Pennsylvania (Dreer collection)
Summary:

Sends rock specimen for W. H. Miller. Asks JSH to see whether there is any geology in P. B. Webb and Sabin Berthelot, Histoire naturelle des Îles Canaries [1835–50]. Finds his work on geology growing so large that it will take more than one volume and asks whether this will make publication aid more difficult.

Has accepted Secretaryship of the Geological Society.

Will not come to Cambridge because "as long as I continue well I cannot bear to leave my work for half a day".

DCP-LETT-1497

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Albany Hancock
Date:
10 Jan [1853]
Source of text:
Historical Society of Pennsylvania
Summary:

Grateful for AH’s long letter and suggestions. Delighted at what he says about "complemental males". CD feared no one would believe in them but now that Owen, Dana, and AH accept them, he is content.

Agrees with AH on cross-impregnation; has collected facts on this head but has done nothing with them.

AH’s paper on Alcippe [Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 2d ser. 4 (1849): 305–14] caused him to lose sleep over its anomalous structure.
