Summary:

Asks if Meldola has the Electrotypes of Fritz Müller's mimicking Butts given in Proc. Ent. Soc. 1879 p. XXI as he would like it for his book. Also asks if Meldola knows of any other woodcut illustrating mimicry of any kind that he could get; new ones are too expensive as he would like his book to be cheap.

Summary:

Plants found on his way back from Dundee last week. Specimen of Carabus enclosed in brown paper [Carabus nitens]. Asks advice about Willie, whose reports are not good. Owing to ill health and delicacy of constitution he is really 2-3 years younger than other lads his age. Could Meldola ask Professor Thompson whether Willie would be permitted to repeat the year, if he fails the exam?.
