My Dear Haeckel
I am glad to hear that the Radiolaria is so nearly finished. I will see chapters XI and XII when they come but I think they will be unnecessary for the English Edition.
The Index can be done as in Brady’s || Report, and we will be glad to commence setting it up at once.
With respect to the map I think it should be the same kind as Brady’s: we have the plate here and can print in any colours you send. I send you a copy of the map on thick paper. || I wish you to prepare the Report on the Great Deep Sea form of Siphonopora, and I approve of the number of plates and size of the Report. The manuscript of which I will expect in March or April
Yours sincerely
John Murray
