Summary

Admires JDH’s paper on Arctic plants ["Distribution of Arctic plants", Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond. 23 (1862): 251–348]. Such papers compel people to reflect on modification of species;

JDH will be driven to a cooled globe.

Serious erratum in paper.

New and original evidence in case of Greenland. Its flora requires accidental means of transport by ice and currents.

Summary

Pleased at CD’s opinion of his Arctic plants paper. CD has caught great blunder.

Lack of Arctic–Asiatic species in mountains of tropical Asia does not trouble him. Species seem to indicate some "current of migration" from Europe and W. Asia southeastward to Ceylon – an awful staggerer to bridge migrations.

Author:  Joseph Dalton Hooker
Addressee:  Charles Robert Darwin
Date:  27 Feb 1862
Classmark:  DAR 101: 15–16
Letter no:  DCP-LETT-3461

On desirability of a place for experiments to be set up by Government or a scientific society. Kew is too busy for experiments.

Author:  Charles William Crocker
Addressee:  Charles Robert Darwin
Date:  [before 13 Mar 1862]
Classmark:  DAR 161.2: 255
Letter no:  DCP-LETT-3464

From J. D. Hooker   3 March 1862

Summary

Had it not been for CD, JDH would never have written such papers as his one on Arctic flora. The "evulgation" of CD’s views is the purest pleasure he derives from them.

He too is staggered that Greenland ought to have been depopulated during the glacial period. Absence of Caltha is fatal to its re-population by chance migration.

Addressee:  Charles Robert Darwin
Date:  3 Mar 1862
