Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections Owen correspondence 9/188)
Summary:

Gratified by what RO says about his book [Living Cirripedia, vol. 1 (1851)]. The anatomical work is the only part he is really interested in; finds the "mere systematic part infinitely tedious"; but will be surprised if he is ever proved wrong on the males of Ibla and Scalpellum.
