Melbourne,
2/10/78.
To W. H. Odgers Esqr
Undersecretary.
Sir
I have the honor to inform you, that I have returned last night from my excursion to the Murray-River and some of its tributaries, where I formed considerable collections and especially studied the saltbushes on the extensive subsaline plains, in reference to the fodder value of these plants.2
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
your obedient servant
Ferd. von Mueller,
Gov. Botanist.
