editorial addition.

Sir,

With reference to your letter of the 12th instant

Letter not found; but see E. Thomas to M, 4 November 1892 (in this edition as 92-11-04a)

I beg to inform you that the thanks of this Government have already been communicated to the Chief Commissioner of the Forest Department, Burma, for the box of Bamboo seeds which he sent to this Government.

As regards your suggestion that a set of your works should be presented to the Chief Commissioner I beg to point out that the Bamboo seeds are sent as a return for certain Eucalyptus seeds supplied by this Government and it is scarcely thought necessary to make any further exchanges at present.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant

E. J. Thomas

Secretary to the Premier

The Government Botanist
