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.
