Darwin Correspondence Project

To John Lubbock   15 November 1866

Down.

15th Nov. 66.

Dear Lubbock

Would you oblige me by looking in indices (for I suppose such there are) to Microscopical Journal, & see if you can find Paper by Mr Hincks or Hickes on the fertilisation or on structure of the Polyzoa or Bryozoa or on the Flustraceæ;1 & if you can find such paper will you kindly lend me yr part.

If there be no indices it will be hopeless; but if there be it will not, I trust, cause you much trouble—

Yours very sincerely | C. Darwin
