List not found.

But the list contains also a Foetus of Dendrolagus Bennetti and Earth worms which were not sent this time as I was afraid specimens in alcohol to pack into the same box with the Minerals. So I kept them back til next time, when in the beginning of May the Australien will be here again.
With the best new years felicitation
