Gentlemen,

Darwin’s Insect: Plants

Further errata

p. 271 line 8 from bottom
for “a little less than the one— ”
read “a little more … ”
p 301. 1st. line of small type
for 2.544 read 2.540
p. 372 line 14.
for 2.794 read 2.795
p 373 “experiment 7,” line 4
for 2.794 read 2.795
& 3rd line above “experiment 7”
for 1.69 read 1.70
p 375. 4th. line above “experiment 14”
for 5.588 read 5.5901

Please be so good as to correct these or insert them in the errata

Also if you shd. not have printed off this part already

p 270 first word of last line
The a of “ample” has dropped out
p 287 under the figure it should be
Dionæa and not Dionœa

but do not insert these last two amongst the errata, as they are too insignificant.2

Yours faithfully | George Darwin
