To S. P. Woodward 27 May [1856]
Summary
Thanks for answer to query. "I see … that there is no hope of comparing the same genus at two different periods, and seeing whether the tendency to vary is greater at one period in such genus than at another period."
Inclined to dispute SPW’s doctrine that islands are generally ancient. Doubts that they are remnants of continents.
