Summary:

Sending copy of Pall Mall Magazine containing interview with and photos of ARW; description of Diplodocus skeleton at the Natural History Museum, donated by Carnegie; Birds of Paradise; meeting at NHM with Jordan and Rothschild who had brought some New Guinea butterflies for him to see, invitation from Rothschild to spend a week at Tring, may go in the summer; emergence of three small longicorn beetles from a clump of orchids sent from Buenos Ayres by John Hall, two caught and identified by British Museum as a species of Ibidion not in its collection; capture of a large orange and brown moth or butterfly which Rothschild thinks a Castnia, in the orchid house and a chrysalis on same orchid as the one harbouring the longicorns, has sent moth and chrysalis to Prof Poulton for the Oxford collection, amazement that the same plant should produce both a rare moth and beetle after a year in a greenhouse.
