Easter-sunday 1878.

Easter fell on 21 April in 1878.

Strange to say, dear Mr Ramsay, the few from N.Z. cannot be found;

See M to E. Ramsay, 4 April and 14 April 1878.

they are evidently mislaid, though I keep the N.Z plants separate in my Museum. I have sacrificed some time in searching for these specimens, but in vain. This mishap is excusable, when I say, that to the only room for my museum plants (i.e. my museum) has not been added since 21 years. Want of space causes much confusion. Pray send me the names of the missing , and I will pick out better specimens for your trustee from my normal collection at once then.

Regardfully

Ferd von Mueller
