Down House meadow
The flower meadow maintained and sampled by Darwin is regularly sampled for plant species by staff from the natural history museum: the sampling finishes today (Weds 30 June). Worth a section?Skipperjeru 23:47, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Panoramas
If you fell neccesary, you can add two panaramas I made a few days ago and uploaded on the wikicommons. One of them is about outside the house and the other one inside. See them on the Spanish Wikipedia clicking HERE --Mario modesto (talk) 08:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Down and Downe
Sadly I have no reference for this but I visited Down house in the past few days and enquired why it was called "Down House" and not "Downe House". Turns out that when "Down" was renamed to "Downe" it was due to a postal problem (to not be confused with Down in Northern Ireland) however Darwin didn't like the change so decided to keep his house spelt the original "Down" spelling. I will try and obtain a relevant source from an appropriate book if this fact is correct - Mohia

How is that calculated?
“Darwin believed that the price was about £2,200 (equivalent to £180,700 in present day terms)” — how is that calculated? The goods of today and the goods of then are different, and different is their “overall quantity”, even though it is highly unclear how to calculate “overall quantity” of goods. - 91.122.8.150 (talk) 17:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Emigrate/Immigrate
Re this edit. I am quite aware that emigrate means "to move out of a country", and that immigrate means "to move into a country". If the focus of this article were John Johnson's life and career in Canada, we might arguably say that he immigrated to Canada from England. However, as the focus is Down House, a site in England, the point being made is that he moved away: it therefore makes far more sense (and jars far less) to say that he emigrated to Canada. You refer to "Wiki guidelines": please specify which. Meanwhile, I am changing to "migrated", in the hope that that settles the issue. GrindtXX (talk) 11:48, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
