 away the youngest, but not the last, of that group of famous 

 EngHsh naturahsts intimately associated with Darwin and the

 the Origin of Species: "I care not for Reviews; but for the 

 opinion of men like you and Hooker and Huxley and Lyell,

 British Association for the Advancement of Science in the 

 University Museum, Oxford, June 30, i860, at which the new 

 views were under discussion, and spoke in their support.

 1859, had referred to him as "my friend, Mr. Lubbock (a 

 very competent worker, with whose paper on Daphnia you 

 are doubtless acquainted)." Still earlier, the entomological 

 intercourse of Darwin and Lubbock is attested by a letter 

 from the former to the latter, before 1857:
