From G. H. Darwin to William Clowes & Sons   17 July 1875

Gentlemen,

On the next sheet (& on the printed slip) you will find a complete list of all the errata hitherto discovered in the ‘Insectivorous Plants’.¹ M^r. Darwin begs you to be so good as to see that the type is corrected in accordance therewith in the further reprints now to be struck off, & he particularly begs you to return him this copy of the errata as he wishes to use it for the foreign editions.

Yours faithfully | G H Darwin

Mess^rs. Clowes

p 172. line 18. for ‘above two-millionth of its weight’ read, ‘above two million times its weight’.

p. 173 line 3 of 2^nd. column of note ⁠⟨⁠    ⁠⟩⁠ large as’ read ‘times as small as’

p 199 line 3 of small type for ^.0296 read ^.0675

p 270 last line— a of ‘ample’ has dropped out

p 287 under the figure for Dionœa read Dionæa

[* NB] This would run better

“Therefore, an object between $\frac{1}{31}$ and $\frac{1}{77}$ of the size of a sphere …”

but it is not important enough to make the change if in doing so, it would be necessary to alter the type to an inconvenient extent.²
