To John Lubbock 12 November [1881]1
Down—
Nov. 12th
My dear Lubbock—
I think that your sentence will do excellently about the Glacial Lakes.—2
I am very glad you thought about the Dimorphism of Butterflies—it seems to me well worth inserting.— I cannot clearly recall to mind about the Leptodora,—it seems to come in rather oddly after the Butterflies.3
Ever yours | C. Darwin
