R. Wallace's "Island Life: Or, The Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras, Including a Revision and Attempted Solution of the Problem of Geological Climates". Macmillan & Co., London, Oct. 1880. Notes: On blue foolscap, the first six folios written on one side only, numbered 1,2,3,"addendum to p. 3", 4, 5, 6. When listed here these notes were in an acid-free envelope annotated, probably by E B c 2001/02 "Listed as '6 sheets of notes relating to Darwins comments on Island Life'. Possibly by Darwin?". The quote is from the rough box list made by C. Mills when the papers were inspected. Handwriting identified as Darwin's by descendant Quentin Keynes 2005.
