* [Extract: […] Mr. Darwin, (in "Origin of Species," p. 344, Ed. 1877) has conjectured a probable mode of distribution, relating particularly to certain fresh-water univalves. What Mr. Darwin conjectured the writer has actually seen. […]
The young of Uniones, since they are capable of swimming freely about may be distributed in the manner suggested by Mr. Darwin; viz: attaching themselves to pond-weeds, the latter being often carried away by water-fowl…]
