Melbourne,

To W. H. Odgers Esqr

Undersecretary.

Sir

I have the honor to inform you, that I have returned last night from my excursion to the Murray-River and some of its tributaries, where I formed considerable collections and especially studied the saltbushes on the extensive subsaline plains, in reference to the fodder value of these plants.

Odgers initialled the file.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller,

Gov. Botanist.
