Dear Dr Wright
I am very much obliged for your note.1 The fact that you mention about the buffalo diving is extremely curious & might come in of use to me, at some future day as illustrating abnormal habits. But I have one little difficulty you speak of the animal as Buf. arnee; now the Arnee is a species of Bos & not of Bubalus; if you cd at any time learn whether the animal was a Bubalus or a Bos your case wd be more valuable.2
With very sincere thanks, pray believe me | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
