It is not known why CD wanted this volume of the Bulletin de la Société botanique de France. It contained an article by Alphonse de Candolle (A. de Candolle 1876) of which CD already had an offprint (see Correspondence vol. 25, letter from Alphonse de Candolle, January 1877), and an article by Émile Mer (Mer 1876). There is a copy of the relevant issue of the journal in the Darwin Archive–CUL (DAR 136: 12); the pages containing Mer’s article are cut, but those containing Candolle’s article are not. The firm of F. Savy, 77 boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris, was the publisher for the society (Bulletin de la Société botanique de France 24 (1877): 1).
