The article contains a section entitled `R´esum´e des lecons sur la question de l’esp`ece’, in which Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire stated his belief that species are subject to limited variability (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1851, pp. 15–20). There is a lightly annotated copy of the work in the Darwin Pamphlet Collection–CUL. CD cited the article in the `historical preface’ added to the revised American edition of Origin (see Appendix IV), to the German translation (Bronn trans. 1860), and to the third English edition (1861).”
