Sir
I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of regulations framed for the preservation

The file was minuted by C. Hodgkinson on 27 January 1866: 'Recommended that the formal
approval of the Bd under seal be endorsed on the proposed regulations'. The file was duly stamped 'Approved by the Board of Land and Works' on 7 February 1866. There is also a reminder on the same day by the secretary, J. Lewis, that the regulations needed to be published in the Government Gazette; this was done in
Victoria. Government gazette, 13 February 1866, p. 38. For the approved regulations, see notes to [A. Morrah] to M, 8 February 1866; there is no copy with the present file, but there is with the copy
of the letter in the Trustees' letter-book.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your most obedient and humble
Ferd. Mueller, M.D., Hon. Secr. to the trustees of the Royal Park
