From Ferdinand von Mueller to R. D. Perry   [July 1862]1

[M. Perry, qui a ramené d'Australie, pour la Société, des Emeux, il y a quelque temps, annonce, par une lettre datée de Londres, le 6 septembre, qu'il a reçu de M. le docteur Mueller, de Melbourne, une collection de graines dont il veut bien mettre une partie à la disposition de la Société.]

[Mr. Perry, who brought Emus back from Australia for the Society some time ago,2 announces, by a letter dated from London, 6 September, that he has received from Dr Mueller, of Melbourne, a collection of seeds, a portion of which he wants to put at the disposal of the Society.]

Letter not found. The text given here is from Bulletin de la Société Impériale Zoologique d'Acclimatation, vol. 9 (1862), p. 800. M’s letter is dated to July as the latest likely date that it could have been sent to have arrived in London by early September, in time for Perry's letter to be reported at the Society's meeting of 12 September.

See M to P. Ramel, 25 December 1861 (in this edition as 61-12-25d).
