Melbourne,
20 Oct. 1883.
To the honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A.
Chief Secretary.
Sir.
I have the honor to report, that the 38 cases, containing the Sonderian collections
of dried plants,
arrived at the end of last week by the S.S. Marsala, and were cleared and placed
by the Stores- and Transport-Department into the Railway-Shed at the Hobson's Bay-Station,
awaiting the completion of the iron-annex to the bot. Museum. This annex will likely
be finished in the course of the next week so far, as to admit of the location of
these 38 cases there then. The requisite fittings and shelves will soon be provided
by the public works Department, when these collections will be put into systematic
order, catalogued and rendered accessible for use.
