Would like to have nearest available estimate of the total number of described, or known, Coleoptera - or those in the Museum. Also from Mr Kirby or who now is in charge of Lepidoptera, approximate number of special in that order - for lecture at the Royal Institution, hence approximation will be sufficient.
Dr Spruce's letters to Kew which ARW is preparing for publication indicates that he sent to Stevens three small lots of beetles collected at Tarapoto Peru (in 1856), at ?Pacyaen, R Bombonasa Ecuador (in 1856) and at Banos Ecuador (in 1857) etc. Could Waterhouse look up the records of the purchase - number of species & proportion new ones?.
Encloses a shabby little Morpo [sic], from Rio Grande do Sul. Can Waterhouse give him the name on a postcard and if it is a common species? [Morpho thamyris ?Felder].
