[Dr. MUELLER stated that he had received a letter from Sir George Grey, in which His Excellency had expressed a wish to have a few sheldrakes and Cape Barren geese.]1
The report continued 'Unfortunately at the present time the society had none, but it would gladly receive a few for sending to New Zeeland.'
Letter not found. The text given here is from the report of the meeting of the Council of the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria held on 5 December 1865 (Argus, 7 December 1865, p. 6).
