The year range is conjectured from the mention of the 4.12 from Charing Cross to Orpington. CD also recommended this train in 1874, 1877, and 1879 (Correspondence vol. 22, letter to J. D. Hooker, 7 [April 1874], Correspondence vol. 25, letter to W. H. Flower, 19 May [1877], and this volume, Supplement, letter to G. J. Romanes, 27–8 May [1877]).
