Dear Sir
I have much pleasure in informing you that the work you refer to was published, under the following title. “The structure & distribution of Coral Reefs 1842, Smith, Elder & Co London.”—2 I am not sure whether it is now sold separately or only bound up with two other little geological Treatises, also published by the same Firm.—3
Pray do not think about the postage, as I have pleasure in answering your query.—
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
