Melbourne,
11. Sept. 1884.
The honorable Graham Berry, M.L.A.,
Chief Secretary.
I have the honor to solicit your permission to have the lithographic work done for the volume on
Myoporinae

Search for Myoporinae in

, concerning which I submitted a proposition in a letter, dated 5 Oct. 1883.

See M to G. Berry, 5 October 1883.
If this meets with your favorable consideration, after you kindly caused the publishing vote to be augmented by £200 this year, I would recommend, that the lithographic work be carried out by the firm of Mess. Troedel & Coy at £2.10/- for each lithographic plate, the same firm having also done the lithographic drawings for the Eucalyptography. I would further beg permission, that the Government Printer may be allowed to do the printing of the lithographies and of the text.

On 22 September the Under Secretary, T. Wilson, sent the file to M 'to note approval & to return the file for reference to the Govt Printer'. M returned the file 'with best thanks' on 29 September and the next day it was forwarded to J. Ferres, Government Printer, who 'noted and returned' it on 3 October. The volume of lithograms was published as B86.08.05.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller.
