It is the last available item in this interesting exchange. Again it opens in friendly, personal fashion, acknowledging the receipt of the book (Manual of Geology), and only this morning your pamphlet on Man and your kind letter. Darwin complimented Dana on the book as a monument of labor ; although he has only turned the pages as yet: It

, Adam White, Dr. Baird, Sir John Richardson, and several other gentlemen, I am greatly indebted for specimens and information: to Mr. Hancock I am further indebted for several long and interesting letters on the burrowing of Cirripedes. Nor are my obligations confined to British naturalists. Dr. Aug. Gould, of Boston, has most kindly transmitted to me some very interesting specimens; as has Prof. Agassiz other specimens collected by himself in the Southern States. To Mr. J. D. Dana, I am much

Dana, who has examined these organs in the larvæ of Lepas, informs me in a letter, that in his opinion they correspond with the inferior antennæ, the superior being wanting, as in most Daphnidæ. He continues— I know of no case in which the inferior are obsolete when the superior are developed; but the reverse is often true. In

informed on the high authority of Mr. J. D. Dana,* that this is the case with the cephalo-thorax in some true Crustaceans, for instance, in Sapphirina. To proceed, the mouth, formed of mandibles, maxillæ, and outer maxillæ, correspond with the fourth, fifth, and sixth segments of the archetype Crustacean. Posteriorly to the mouth, we come, in the larva, to a rather wide interspace without any apparent articulation or organ, and then to the thorax, formed of six segments, bearing the six pair

part of the head is only a little less elongated, compared with the rest of the body, than in the Cirripedia. That accomplished naturalist, M. J. D. Dana (Silliman's 'American Journal,' March, 1846,) has stated that the pedicel of Anatifa corresponds to a pair of antennæ in the young: although the peduncle or pedicel is undoubtedly thus terminated, this view cannot, I think, be admitted. In the larva, the part anterior to the mouth is as large, in proportion to the rest of the body, as in some

must be a great change to you. As for himself, three hours have been a most unusually hard day's work. He was sending the photograph Dana asked for, made by his eldest son. On the issue between them, Darwin was noncommittal; he had not yet received the Manual and was not at all surprised that you have not read the 'Origin'; all my friends say it takes much thought (which rather surprises me) and most have had to read it two or three times. Darwin ended on a mixed note of understandable pride
