Darwin and Wallace.

In 1858 Wallace sent to Darwin a
paper in which he sketched the out
lines OF a theory identical with that
upon which Darwin had so long been
at work. The same sequences that
led Darwin to the discovery of natu-
raj selection and its consequences
had led Wallace TO the very thresh-
old of the same discovery; but in Mr.
Wallaces mind the theory had by no
means been wrought out to the same
degree of completeness to which it
had been wrought in the mind of Mr.
Darwin.
