Letter from J. D. Hooker to C. R. Darwin   17 March 1862 (MS DAR 101: 23–6)

JDH has probably influenced Bates by pointing out applicability of CD’s views to his cases.

Is greatly puzzled by difference in effect of external conditions on individual animals and plants. Cannot conceive that climate could affect even such a single character as a hooked seed.

Does not think Huxley is right about "saltus".
