Abstract
MR. DARWIN, in the new and much improved edition of his work on Coral Reefs, mentions some points in the subject, on which he still finds reason to differ from the writer. I think that with regard to one or two of these points he has not fully understood my views; and, as to the others, that the arguments and facts which I have brought out have not received all the consideration they may deserve. A review of some statements in his work may, therefore, be profitable. I follow the order of his criticisms as briefly stated in the first half of his Preface.
