Digitized by Google l68 EVOLUTION [Chap. Ill Letter 112 which our domestic pigeon would cross — that is, if several excessively close geographical races of C, livia^ which hardly any ornithologist looks at as true species, be all grouped under C. livia} I am writing higgledy-piggledy, as I re-read your letter. I thought that my letter had been much wilder than yours. I quite feel the comfort of writing when one may " alter one's speculations the day after." It is beyond my knowledge to weigh ra...nks of birds and monotremes ; in the respiratory and circulatory system and muscular energy I believe birds are ahead of all mammals. I knew that you must have known about New Guinea ; but in writing to you I never make myself civil ! After treating some half-dozen or dozen domestic animals in the same manner as I treat dogs, I intended to have a chapter of conclusions. But Heaven knows when I shall finish : I get on very slowly. You would be surprised how long it took me to pick out what seemed useful about dogs out of multitudes of details.
