My Dear Haeckel
I will send you to-morrow a revise of the title pages with my Editorial Note, on which please to remark or correct as you think fit. I have put in the English Edition the table on page 168 (German) $259 statistics of the twenty orders with some modifications. You will receive a proof || of this also to-morrow. I would be glad if I could have the whole passed for press early next week.
I propose to take a run on the Continent during next month but you will be away before I get to your part of Germany. I wish you a successful and enjoyable Expedition.
I will ask the Treasury to send you £168. and I wish to know if || this amount is quiet satisfactory to you for the whole of the Radiolaria work.
I would also like to know if you will send a collection of the slides which can go to the British Museum as representing your Report. Brady asked me lately about some slides he sent to you: can these be returned?
I would like Giltsch to send me his account for any drawings he may || have finished before the end of the second week of March. i. e. for the Siphonophora. If either from Giltsch or yourself there be any further claims to be made in connection with the Radiolaria Report they must be made now.
Let me know the size, in plates and if there be anything beyond what I have seen, of the German Edition, and when it is proposed to issue it.
You have had hitherto honorarium £441. If £168a be now sent this will be £609.
Ever yours
John Murray
