DARWIN Charles ( 1809-1882)
L.A.S. to Louis ROLLE. Down Beckenham, Kent, August 2 (1869). 3 pp. bi-sheet in-8|in English. Attached a translation of the time, and 2 collector's cards on Darwin.
Precious letter from Darwin to his French translator in which he clarifies certain terms of one of his works. He is pleased that he has made rapid progress in the translation. (...) "Distal" is a term used by English anatomists to express the part at greater distance from the body (...) It means the extreme or most remote half of the labellum from the center of flower ["Distal" is a term used by English anatomists to designate the most distant part of the body of an organ, for example the tibia from the leg. I use it to refer to the part of the Lebellum furthest from the centre of the flower]. "Thips" is name of genre or group and is used by Latreille who places is under his "aphidiens"|but it is very different from an aphis or puceron. I believe the entomologists do not now place thrips and aphis close together ["Thrips" is a genus name used by Latreille who places it among his aphids: but a thrips is very different from an arphis or aphid, and I think entomologists no longer place these two genera next to each other]. It allows him to use ephemera such as "sadle-formed", "boat-shaped", etc. as he sees fit. Banks" refers to a teep grassy slope wich no bushes and fully offered to sting winds [I referred to a teep grassy slope wich no bushes and fully offered to sting winds]. Darwin sent him a last note (and it is the last whish I shall have to send) on Epipactis palustris, addressed to "Place d'Ainay, Lyon". If you have not received it, will you be so good as to enquire at your post-office [
