[For this abstract from the essay of M. Alf. de Candolle1 we are indebted to Mr. James T. Rudall, F.R.C.S., Eng., of Melbourne, who at the special request of Baron Von Mueller, K.C.M.G., &c., &c., to whom the essay was sent by the author, made the necessary translation for the A. M. G., which will be, we are sure, most interesting to our readers. M. de Candolle has evidently devoted much time and talent to the elaboration of his work.—Ed. A. M. G.]
A. de Candolle (1884).
Letter not found. The text given here is a footnote to 'Heredity in the colour of the eyes of the human race', Australasian medical gazette, April 1885, p. 161. A. de Candolle (1884) is the published version of a paper that he read at the meeting of the Société de Physique et d'Histoire Naturelle de Genéve held on 3 August 1884. The present item is dated to August 1884 as the earliest likely date on which de Candolle could have sent M a copy of his paper as a preprint, assuming that it was printed soon after it was delivered. No covering letter from M to Rudall has been found.
