See Letters 47, 48.) LETTER 327.

This paragraph is published in the "Life and Letters," II., page 78; it refers to a letter (June 25th, 1856, "Life and Letters," II., page 74) giving Darwin's arguments against the doctrine of "Continental Extension." See Letters 47, 48.) I have been having a look at Maury (which I once before looked at), and in respect to Madeira & Co.
