Discusses insects collected by CD on St Paul’s Island and the Galapagos.
Notes on Galapagos Coleoptera.
Is about to send his paper on Galapagos beetles to press. Has written some introductory material on which he invites CD’s comments.
Discusses his paper on CD’s Galapagos beetles ["Coleopterous insects … in the Galapagos Islands", Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 16 (1845): 19–41] which he will forward when printed. Has drawn up descriptions of several other insects from CD’s collections.
Notes the islands, where known, on which CD’s Galapagos beetles were found. Remarks that in none of the species whose place of origin is known, does he have specimens from more than one island.
