Mr Brayley says he can give me facts respecting lime being heated without parting with Carb. acid –

[Darwin cited this in Geological observations on the volcanic islands and parts of South America visited during the voyage of H.M.S. 'Beagle'. 2d ed., p. 9: "I am much indebted to Mr. E. W. Brayley in having given me the following references to papers on this subject: Faraday, in the 'Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal,' vol. xv. p. 398".]

Mr Malcolmson in Paper on India gives reason for knowing that Mur. Soda. and Carb of Lime decompose each other.—
