NHM-WP07.115 Note: 1899.00.00?--1899? Notes apparently on cell division and development of the embryo; in A. R. Wallace's hand on a single sheet of lined exercise-book paper written on one side only; headed "?Mss - to come at foot of first slip"; note beginning "(To the Editor) | I send the above condensation" at the foot of the page. Notes: This probably belongs with other notes; possibly the file of oddments labelled "Variation" - relating to whatever the particular publication is. "Darwinism: an exposition of the theory of natural selection..." (1889-) seems the most likely; there is a discussion of the embryonic development of man on pp. 448-449 in ed. 2; but it may be some unidentified short work.
