To J. V. Carus   19 February 1877

Down, | Beckenham, Kent.

Feb 19. 1877

My dear Sir,

Will you be so good as to correct the following unfortunate misprint which produces a mistake of some importance:

Cross & Self-Fertilisation

p 275. line 6 from top

For ‘self-fertilised’ read ‘crossed’1

My dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Charles Darwin

Carus was translating Cross and self fertilisation into German (see letter from J. V. Carus, 20 January 1877). For CD’s corrections to Cross and self fertilisation 2d ed., see the letter to J. V. Carus, 4 March 1877 and n. 2.
