Sir,
I have the honor to solicit that you will be pleased to sanction the transfer of the sum of Fifty pounds (£50.- .-), balance of the vote for "Publication of works on Australian plants" to the vote for "Collecting botanic specimens, clerical assistance etc", as I find that this sum will not be absolutely required for the former item, and the transfer will enable me to defray other necessary expenditure of the department during the remainder of the present financial year.
