On 12 November Darwin visited his Wedgwood relatives at [[Maer Hall]] and they encouraged him to publish a book of his travels based on his diary, an idea his sisters picked up when he visited his home.
On 2 December he returned to London and began finding takers for his specimens, with [[Thomas Bell (zoologist)|Thomas Bell]] and the Revd. [[William Buckland]] interested in the reptiles. Darwin's reputation was being made by the giant mammal fossils. Owen's first surprising revelation was that a [[hippopotamus]] sized fossil skull 2 feet 4 inches (710 mm) long which Darwin had bought for about two shillings near [[Mercedes, Uruguay|Mercedes]] while on a "galloping" trip 120 miles (190 km) from [[Montevideo]] was of an extinct [[rodent]]-like creature resembling a giant [[capybara]], which Owen named ''[[Toxodon]]''. Darwin wrote to his sister Caroline that "[the fossils] are turning out great treasures" and of the ''Toxodon'', "There is another head, as large as a Rhinoceros which as far as they can guess, must have been a gnawing animal. Conceive a Rat or a Hare of such a size— What famous Cats they ought to have had in those days!"<ref name=Letter321>{{citar web |url=http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/darwinletters/calendar/entry-321.html |título=Darwin Correspondence Project - Letter 321 — Darwin, C.

Darwin paid a visit to his brother Eras's lady friend the literary [[British Whig Party|Whig]] Miss [[Harriet Martineau]] who had strong views on egalitarianism and whose writings had popularised the ideas of [[Thomas Malthus]]. "She was very agreeable" and they discussed the "process of world making" that she had seen on her visit to the [[Niagara Falls]]. While he later remarked on "how ugly" she was, she described Charles as "simple, childlike, painstaking, effective".
