Dear Darwin
Bentham has translated the Introduction to Miguel’s Sumatran supplement to his Flora Ned. Ind—1 It contains much curious matter regarding the affinities of the Bornean & Sumatran Flora (to the exclusion of the Javan) & should be published. What do you think would be the best vehicle? “Nature” is wretched & too ephemeral— What about Popular Science Review?2
