Papers and proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania (1880), published early in 1882; see J. Barnard to M, 18 February 1882. The volume included a paper by M, namely B82.02.03.

that I cannot just now furnish an article. If mine could be accepted as the last for the new part, & you would kindly write me a few weeks prior to the actual publication of the same, I will gladly undertake to furnish my quota.
