To H. B. Dobell 17 July [1864]
Summary
Thanks HBD for his note. The analogy of surnames had not occurred to CD – only that of language generally, as shown so well by Lyell. Fears HBD’s argument about progression would not have much weight.

From Horace Benge Dobell 15 July 1864
Summary
Suggests man’s original mode of walking and running is similar to that of quadrupeds.
He also suggests CD answer critics who say no new species has ever been unequivocally traced to its origins, by pointing out that there is no unequivocal account of the origin of surnames.
