But next to a subsequent description of a series of forms transitional between Ammonites biplex and A. humphriesianus, CD wrote: ‘But here we have cases of vars. leading to a species in a lower bed.-’īulhof, Ilse N. 522 in the Bulletin), CD wrote in pencil: ‘All these vars. Beside a list of various transitional varieties on p. 5 (p. His paper describes a series of what he believed to be transitional varieties and species of ammonites. The annotated copy is in the Darwin Pamphlet Collection–CUL. Trautschold stated that for several years he had been aware of the existence of many varieties and transitional forms in the fossil species in Jurassic formations near Moscow but laid no value on the specimens until he read the German translation of Origin (Bronn trans. 1860).

It was a privately printed reprint of a paper originally published in the Bulletin de la Société Imperiale des Naturalistes de Moscou 33 (1860): 519–30. The pamphlet, Übergänge und Zwischenvarietäten, was by Hermann Adolfovich Trautschold of the Petrovsky Academy in Moscow ( Trautschold 1861). 11 This is the sort of work which will finally settle the fate of the Origin one way or the other. M r Davidson, who knows some groups of fossils better than any man in Europe, I can see, is coming round by inches, & declares he will well consider & discuss & publish on the relations of the Brachiopods from the earliest dawn of life to the present day on genealogical principles. 8 The naturalists seem as timid, as young ladies should be, about their scientific reputation.- There is much discussion on the subject on the continent even in quiet Holland 9 & I had a pamphlet from Moscow the other day by a man who sticks up famously on the imperfection of the Geological Record but complains that I have sadly underrated the variability of the old fossilised animals! 10īut I must not run on with sincere thanks & respect | Pray believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin Many are so fearful of speaking out.- A German naturalist came here the other day & he tells me that there are many in Germany on our side but that all seem fearful of speaking out & waiting for some one to speak & then many will follow. Pray believe that I feel sincerely grateful that you have taken up the cudgels in defence of the line of argument in the Origin: you will have benefitted the subject. 7 But to me, observing is much better sport than writing.- I fear that I shall have wearied you with this long note.

I have been rather idle of late or speaking more strictly working at some miscellaneous papers, which however have some direct bearing on the subject of species yet I feel guilty at having neglected my larger Book. I have returned only lately from a two months’ visit to Torquay, which did my health at the time good but I am one of those miserable creatures who are never comfortable for 24 hours & it is clear to me that I ought to be exterminated. How odd it is that every one should not see that all observation must be for or against some view, if it is to be of any service. 5 About 30 years ago there was much talk that Geologists ought only to observe & not theorise 6 & I well remember some one saying, that at this rate a man might as well go into a gravel-pit & count the pebbles & describe their colours. How profoundly ignorant he must be of the very soul of observation. Lankester he is a mean prater who never observed a new fact, I believe, in his life.- It made me laugh to read of his advice or rather regret that I had not published facts alone. How miserably Prof Williamson talked of my reputation, as if that had anything to do with it. You will have done good service in calling the attention of scientific men to the means & laws of philosophising.- As far as I could judge by the papers your opponents were unworthy of you. 3 It seems to me very good & sound though I am certainly not an impartial judge. I wondered who had so kindly sent me the newspapers which I was very glad to see 2 & now I have to thank you sincerely for allowing me to see your M.S.
