The four birds have safely come back, dear Dr Ramsay, and I offer my best thanks for naming them.
1
M had sent some New Guinea birds to Ramsay for naming; see M to E. Ramsay, 20 May 1891. See also E. Ramsay to M, September 1891 (in this edition as 91-09-00).
No chance of getting ?

M had been pressing Ramsay to collect specimens of this seaweed that included fruiting bodies since 1882; see M to E. Ramsay 22 September 1882 (in this edition as 82-09-22c).
Can I send you anything from here?
Always regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
