To F. W. Farrar 2 November [1865]
Summary
Has enjoyed FWF’s volume [Chapters on language]. Had found Max Müller’s theory obscure and weak.
Believes FWF would come to agree with him on species if he studied general questions in natural history. To argue for immutability of species on the basis of geology resembles a wise savage in a nation with no books saying his language has never changed.

- … Darwin. I took the first opportunity of seeing my friend to find out if I understood him rightly when he told me it was the Arnee that he had found possessed of powers of diving— He tells me that there can be no doubt of its being the animal called Arnee in India, & on shewing me the pairs of Horns—of a wild male & female shot by himself, I have no doubt it is the Bubalus Arna of Horsfield Catalogue of Mammalia in the Museum of the H.
