  <dc:title>Letter from Charles Robert Darwin, Down, Bromley, Kent, to Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Darwin can think of no zoologist with a claim to the Royal Medal. Although he himself is not a botanist, he recommends Mr Bentham and discusses his European reputation. Notes also Mr Prestwich's claims as a geologist. A list of all medallists would be useful in fairly apportioning awards to different subjects, he believes.</dc:description>
