This notice by Darwin includes his introduction, approval and comments on the contents of a letter to Darwin by the German-Brazilian botanist and entomologist Johann Friedrich Theodor "Fritz" Müller (1821-1897). Müller's letter is also printed, verbatim. The complete issue, published on 29 November, 1877. ADDED: a lengthy review of Darwin's The different forms of flowers on plants of the same species (Freeman, 1277). This is a subject touched by the correspondence between Darwin and Müller. This anonymous three page review was published in number 440 of the same volume (4 April, 1778). Uncut, as issued. Weak vertical fold to both (due to the method of dispatching), a few light spots on the wrappers (Darwin papers clean), otherwise two very good, clean copies. Freeman, 1781.
