See M to J. McCulloch, 4 April 1867.

and in addition I have still to observe, that unbound fascicles and plates have since the publication of the work been distributed by consent of Government as occasion arose for furthering the increase of the collections of the phytologic Museum by transmitting the prints to discoverers of certain plants, or to contributors to the herbarium, or to excite the aid of residents in localities rich in plants, or to afford information connected with the Australian vegetation.

The honorable the Chief Secretary
