My dear Haeckel

I enclose you some of the photos, and if you wish any more I’ll be glad to send them to you. You have not sent || me the account for the carriage of the boxes. Sir Wyville will not make up his mind about the sponges. Agassiz was here lately and he says that O. Schmidt has for some time been working || at the sponges which have been dredged on the American coast, and that these are the same as many which we have in our collections.

Thomson therefore thinks that he must in the first place consult with Schmidt about them, in fact he thinks he is bound to do this, before giving them to Marshall || as O. Schmidt was in the first place named for the sponges. Thomson would however very much like to have them done in this country if possible, and for reasons that you know.

Best remembrances to Mrs Haeckel and I hope you are all flourishing.

As ever

John Murray
