What a curious case is that about
the coral snakes. The summary, and indeed the whole, is excellent, and I
have enjoyed it much.--With many thanks, yours very sincerely,
CH. DARWIN.

Dear Darwin,--I am very sorry I was out when you called yesterday. I had
just gone to the Zoological Gardens, and I met Sir C. Lyell, who told me
you were in town.
If you should have time to go to Bayswater, I think you would be pleased
to see the collections which I have displayed there in the form of an
_exhibition_ (though the public will not go to see it).
If you can go, with any friends, I should like to meet you there if you
can appoint a time.
I am glad to find you continue in tolerable health.--Believe me yours
very faithfully,
ALFRED R. WALLACE.
What do you think of the Duke of Argyll's criticisms, and the more
pretentious one in the last number of the _North British Review_?
I have written a little article answering them both, but I do not yet
know where to get it published.
