To Giuseppe Merighi   16 February [1882]

Dear Sir—

My observations on the geology of S. Africa have no value. They relate only to the junction between the clay-slate & the granite.— They were published at the end of my “Geolog. Observations on Volcanic Islands”.—1 I do not possess any duplicate copy.—

Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

Down, Beckenham, Kent

Feb. 16th—

See Volcanic islands, p. 151. No letter from Merighi on South African geology has been found; he has not been identified.
