Dear Professor Hæckel.
I have to-day sent you a box containing 93. small bottles with samples of the surface things gathered in our tow-nets, and 21 small bottles with samples of ocean deposits. I || hope these will reach you all right. The box is addressed
Professor Ernest Hæckel
University
Jena. Germany.
Should you wish any more of the deposit or surface gathering from any particular locality, you can let me know || and I will send them on to you.
I have a number of microscopic preparations of Radiolaria. If you think these may be of any use to you I’ll be happy to hand them over to you.
Yours very truly
John Murray. ||
We are now getting on with the Challenger work. J. M.
