My dear Sir,
They don't seem to have understood me in my corrections at 209 & 234. I wish what I have written to be introduced 1st. to show that 209 is to be obliterated from the catalogue of mineral species (it was introduced by error) & 2d. that 234 is also to be so, because it is identical with 202. You may as well compare what I sent 2 days ago with the latter portion, as possibly I may have overlooked something noticed there. One is so apt to overlook a want of [full stop with circle around it], or the omission of a letter. I am glad I did not think again of going to Ipswich this very blustery day. As soon as the list is complete or perhaps before I shall be happy to fulfill my promise of an hour's Lesson on Mineralogical Terminology or rather Symbolical exposition. I send another portion - so that you have now, in hand, from (27 on to 323) not yet in type.
Yrs very truly
J. S. Henslow
