My Dear Haeckel
Many thanks for your list of the Radiolaria of the Knight Errant. Sir Wyville Thomson is quite willing that Hertwig should report on the Deep-Sea Medusae. I have sent you to-day a box containing some more specimens of these || Medusae which be so good as give to Hertwig with the rest. These are two specimens from the Knight Errant. Could Hertwig give me the names of these for the Preliminary Report on the cruise of the Knight Errant which will be published in a few weeks? One was sent last time and the || other in this box. I am delighted to hear that we are to have your paper on the Medusae next month.
I have Renard here just now working at the minerals.
You seem to have had a fine time in Italy! I wish I had been with you. I am going to Glasgow to-morrow and I will call on Rottenburg, as I am to be there over Sunday.
With my best wishes to Mrs Haeckel and the children
Yours ever
John Murray. ||
