) Darwin refers to Hutton's review as very original, and adds that Hutton is one of the very few who see that the change of species cannot be directly proved... (Life and Letters, II., page 362). The review appeared in The Geologist (afterwards known as The Geological Magazine) for 1861, pages 132-6 and 183-8. A letter on Difficulties of Darwinism is published in the same volume of The Geologist, page 286. [page 184

account of dominant and important species generally varying most. You speak of their views rather as if you were a thousand miles away from such wretches, but your concluding paragraph shows that you are one of the wretches. I am pleased that you approve of Hutton's review.1 It seemed to me to take a more philosophical view of the manner of judging the question than any other review. The sentence you quote from it seems very true, but I do not agree with the theological conclusion. I think he quotes

corresponding with Sir J.D. Hooker on the Origin of Species. A biographical note on Harvey is given as a note to Letter 95. 2. In a letter to Hooker, May 22nd, 1860, Darwin wrote: Have you Pyrola at Kew? if so, for heaven's sake observe the curvature of the pistil towards the gangway to the nectary. The fact of the stigma in insect-visited flowers being so placed that the visitor must touch it on its way to the nectar, was a point which early attracted Darwin's attention and strongly impressed him. 3.

Owen, and published in the April number of the Edinburgh Review, 1860. Owen's biographer is silent on the subject, and prints, without comment, the following passage 1.

Professor Owen's biographer has clearly felt the difficulty of making a statement on Owen's attitude towards Darwinism, and has (Life of Sir Richard Owen, Volume II., page 92) been driven to adopt the severe indictment contained in the Origin of Species, Edition VI., page xviii. Darwin was by no means alone in his distrust of Owen; and to omit altogether a reference

Quarterly Review for April, 1889, on Geological Climates and the Origin of Species, which was in large part a review and eulogy of Sir Charles Lyells great work, The Principles of Geology, which greatly pleased him as well as Darwin. A considerable part of this article was devoted to a discussion of Mr. Crolls explanation of the glacial epoch, and, by a combination of his views with those of Lyell on the great effect of changed distribution of sea and land, or of differences in altitude, I showed

And at the very end of the letter I say: There is a work published by the Ray Society I should much like to see, Okens Elements of Physiophilosophy. There is a review of it in the Athen um. It contains some remarkable views on my favourite subject the variations, arrangements, distribution, etc., of species. These extracts from my early letters

by means of muscle-reading, although in his letter to Darwin he had declared that his mental questions had been answered. But a cause of difference on a scientific question had since arisen between Romanes and myself which led to complicacation. In 1886 he read a paper to the Linnean Society, which was printed in their Journal, entitled Physiological Selection: an additional suggestion on the Origin of Species. This paper put forth what was really a new theory of the origin of infertile races

people who had nothing to say. Almost everything worth knowing that has been said is now to be found in print. While at Washington I was asked by two American papers The Nation and The Independent to review a book just published by Professor Cope, with the rather catching title, The Origin of the Fittest, made up by combining Darwin's title, The Origin of Species, and Herbert Spencer's, The Survival of the Fittest. With such a title from a man who, owing to his extensive knowledge of anatomy and pal

, 1871, he wrote me a long letter, chiefly about Mr. Mivart's criticisms and accusations in his book on The Genesis of Species, and again in a severe article in the Quarterly Review. These he proposed replying to in a new edition of the Origin, but the incident worried him a good deal. In a postscript he says, I quite agree with what you say, that Mivart fully intends to be honourable, but he seems to me to have the mind of a most able lawyer retained to plead against us, and especially against me
