Thus the immense length of the nectary of the Angraecum sesquipedale of Madagascar might, perhaps, have been completely explained by Mr. The tramway in some parts was on raised ground, in others excavated in the bank side.
Even Angræcum sesquipedale, of which I wrote in the preceding chapter, would find a moth able to impregnate it in South Brazil. Such species as recognize the conditions necessary for their existence will establish themselves.
I cannot send you a copy because they do not allow separate copies to be printed. There is a nice illustration of the predicted Madagascar moth and Angræcum sesquipedale. I shall be glad to know whether I have done it satisfactorily to you, and hope you will not be so very sparing of criticism as you usually are. I hope you are getting on well with your great book.
A. Scottianum comes from Zanzibar, discovered, I believe, by Sir John Kirk; A. caudatum, from Sierra Leone. This latter species is the nearest rival of A. sesquipedale, showing "tails" ten inches long.
