About this work
Description
Letter from Charles Darwin to Galton regarding coat colours in the rabbits they have been breeding. Darwin suggests that if the next generation's colours are as to be expected then continuing to breed them seems superfluous. Discusses why crying children might rub their eyes with their knuckles whereas adults do not.
