His thanks for MGR’s valuable Anatomische Untersuchungen (1872).
Has sent his paper on Echinoidea [see 10373] as a token of his veneration. He tried to address the confusion in knowledge about the different parts of the exoskeleton of the Echinodermata by tracing certain relations of homology not previously noticed. Much more work is required.
Thanks for SL’s [Études sur les echinoïdées (1875)]. Nothing could be more difficult than the homologies of this group.
Expresses his gratitude and admiration for AK’s and M. G. Retzius’s Studien in der Anatomie des Nervensystems und des Bindegewebes (2 vols. 1875–6).

Encloses his photograph.
CD is honoured to receive the magnificent work Finska Kranier (1878).

CD again has the pleasure of accepting another grand present, Das Gehörorgan der Wirbelthiere (1881).
