I can see from a note from Falconer (about a wonderful fossil Brazilian Mammal, well called Meso-or Typo-theriuni) that he expects no sympathy from me. He will end, I hope, by being sorry.

My family are now reading the book, and admire it extremely; and, as my wife remarks, it has so strong an air of truthfulness. I had a letter from a person the other day, unknown to you, full of praise of the book. I do hope it may get extensively heard of and circulated; but to a certain extent this, I think, always depends on chance. I suppose the clicking noise of surprise made by the Indian is that which the end of the tongue, applied to the palate of the mouth and suddenly withdrawn, makes?
