The Executive resolved 'zich ter zake tot die autoriteit te wenden' [to turn to that authority on the matter]. The Secretary of the Society, W. F. Versteeg, wrote to Melbourne the next day and the Undersecretary of the Chief Secretary's Department, J. Moore, replied on 6 February 1866 that the requested copies of Mueller's works were being sent (N808, no. 389, p. 32, unit 11, VPRS 1187/P outward correspondence, VA 475 Chief Secretary's Department, Public Record Office, Victoria). The books were reported as received at the meeting of the Society's Executive on 18 May 1866 (Natuurkundig tijdschrift voor Nederlandsch Indië, vol. 29 (1866), pp. 473).
