My Dear Haeckel
I send you me title pages of the Radiolaria and I will be glad to hear if you are satisfied with them. The map is sent to you to-day: kindly return it for press. I suppose it had better go in at the end of the plates, and you can make any || remarks about it you wish, as in the case of each of the plates.
We have printed the Introduction without any omissions as far as the end of, the large type of paragraph 252. on page 155 (German text) we have there omitted the small type notes A to F and we have printed the Ubersicht on pp. 159. 160. I || have none of the German text after sheet 20. I would propose, following your advice, to finish the Introduction with the Ubersicht page 160. Will that suit your views?
I would like to issue the volumes as soon as possible so be good enough to write soon, for as soon as we || have all in first proof I will ask the Stationery Office to fix the price.
With the best wishes for the New Year
Yours ever
John Murray
