My dear Haeckel
I have sent you a box to-day and enclose you a note of the contents. Your Report on the Phaeodaria will be in this weeks „Nature”. || I send you two micro. slides on which you will find an acanthometra with a sort of shell – [Zeichnung] What is the name of it?
Would you ask Hertwig to send me a paper of his on “Test of the Ascidians” if he has one to spare. I have sent two Baellostoma || to Gegenbaur.
Sir Wyville still keeps better and desires me to thank you for your note.
With best remembrances to all your family
As ever
John Murray.||
