Beddome (1863). It is not clear which fascicles were received. See Lucas (2026) for discussion of the dates of publication and the pattern of receipt. These may have been fascicles 5 and 6 which are not listed specifically in the correspondence.

That is, not with M's personal collection; see M to J. McCulloch, 17 November 1863, and notes thereto.
