Haeckel wants British specimens of calcareous sponges. Can THH tell him to whom he can apply?

MG 9, D38, vol. 1, pp. 99-100, National Archives of Canada, Ottawa.The MS is located among the papers of George Monro Grant, with the following note on the back: 'Copy of certificate from Baron Ferdinand von Mueller, C.M.G., M.D., Ph.D., F.R.S., Commr. Ord. Santiago, Kn. of Order of Austria, France, Prussia, Italy, Würtemberg, Denmark, Mecklenburg, Gotha, Government Botanist for Victoria (Australia) and Director of the State Gardens, Melbourne.' The copy is in an unknown hand. The note was presumably added subsequently to M’s being awarded the Order of Santiago (29 November 1870) and his barony (6 July 1871) but before 1874 when he was awarded further knighthoods from Bavaria, Luxemburg and Weimar
