From Federico Delpino 11 September 1875
Summary
Thanks for Thomas Belt’s Naturalist in Nicaragua [1874], which confirms some of his observations,
and for Insectivorous plants, which he praises.
Suggests that a book integrating knowledge of plant–animal interactions be written by a Darwinist.
Defines biology as the science of external interactions.
German reception is far more positive than Italian.

From Federico Delpino 18 April 1875
Summary
Looking forward to publication of Insectivorous plants, which he will review.
Paul Mantegazza has criticised FD on insectivorous plants
and CD on sexual selection; FD maintains dichogamy in plants supports sexual selection.
