MS is a telegram, evidently sent in response to a letter from Barnard 'Asking for a Paper for Novr. meeting', recorded as sent to M on 12 October (RSA/B/1 letter index, Royal Society of Tasmania Archives, Hobart). MS found at MEL with a specimen of Uvaria holtzei, having apparently been used by M as a specimen label since he has written on the verso: 'Uvaria Holtzeana FvM 307 Port Darwin Holtze' (see also M to M. Holtze, 29 October 1883).
