On Darwin's mistake in this point see "Life and Letters," III., page 2.) Pray believe me, Yours sincerely, C.DARWIN.
I told the above case to Milne Edwards, and I saw he did not place the smallest belief in it.
LETTER 34.

TO T.H.HUXLEY.

Down, September 2nd, [1854].
My second volume on the everlasting barnacles is at last published (34/1.

"A Monograph of the Sub-class Cirripedia.II.The Balanidae, the Verrucidae." Ray Society, 1854.), and I will do myself the pleasure of sending you a copy to Jermyn Street next Thursday, as I have to send another book then to Mr.Baily.
And now I want to ask you a favour--namely, to answer me two questions.
As you are so perfectly familiar with the doings, etc., of all Continental naturalists, I want you to tell me a few names of those whom you think would care for my volume.

I do not mean in the light of puffing my book, but I want not to send copies to those who from other studies, age, etc., would view it as waste paper.
