2nd October [188]5

Dear Sir

With reference to your letter of the 21st ultimo

Letter not found.

I beg to inform you that your message of thanks for the "Challenger" Report

Hemsley (1885a); see E. Thomas to M, 19 September 1885 (in this edition as 85-09-19b).

will be duly conveyed to the Lord Commissioners of the Treasury

As regards, however, the proposal to present a copy of the "Eucalyptographia"

B84.11.02, the tenth Decade of Eucalyptographia, had completed this work, which commenced with B79.13.11.

to their Lordships in return, Mr Service thinks that, as the Secretary of State for the Colonies — as well as the British Museum — has already been supplied with a copy, it is scarcely necessary to transmit one to the Treasury also

faithfully yours

Wm Sewell

for Secretary

Sir Ferdinand Mueller K.C.M.G.
