To Richard Owen   25 December 1866

Christmasday

1866

 

This note, dear Prof Owen, appeared in the Melbourne Herald of the 17. inst. & the other in the Australasian of this week.1 The existence of a Casuarius in this continent may interest you & I shall not fail to send a specimen to the British Museum whenever it can be obtained.

Ever with deep regards

Your Ferd Mueller
