CHAPTER 1
147/354

Hooker made the same remark that it ought to have been "Variation and Natural Selection." Yet with domestic productions, when selection is spoken of, variation is always implied.

But I entirely agree with your and Hooker's remark.
Have you begun regularly to write your book on the antiquity of man?
(113/4.

Published in 1863.) I do NOT agree with your remark that I make Natural Selection do too much work.

LETTER 114.

TO C.LYELL.15, Marine Parade, Eastbourne, Friday 5th [October, 1860].
I have two notes to thank you for, and I return Wollaston.
