Happy to hear his ornithological paper has been accepted by Linnean Society. Proposes Colonel [Thomas] Davies as FLS. Requests copies of lists and rules and orders [of Linnean Society].
Thanks for letter and "Linnean Transactions" vol 1. He has been working on 'Hyale' and 'Palaeno' and has distinguished the two "saffron butterflies", convinced the first is Linnaeus' 'Electra', gives character.
Notes and corrections on "Linnean Transactions", including [William] Markwick's paper [see RelatedMaterial below]. Death of Professor Lehnberg of Stockholm. Hopeful that reports of Dr [Anders] Sparrman's [(1748-1820)] death are groundless.
Sending copies of his "Synopsis [of birds]" and "Index [ornithologicus]" for the Linnean Society.
