Ich hatte das Ex. von Pt. Victor verlegt, lieber Herr Tepper, es ist Pseudanthus micranthus, Bth.
Lassen Sie sich nicht hindern Ihre Abhandlung an die L.S. zu senden über das Lerp Insekt, nachdem Sie sich auf Mr Dobson u Prof. Anderson bezogen.

I had mislaid the specimen from Port Victor,1 dear Mr Tepper, it is Pseudanthus micranthus Benth.
Do not let yourself be hindered in sending your paper on the lerp insect to the Linnean Society after you referred to Mr Dobson and Professor Anderson.2
Your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Pseudanthus micranthus
Encounter Bay, SA. See O. Tepper to M, 2 October 1882 (in this edition as 82-10-02b).
i.e. Dobson (1851) and Anderson (1851), of which M subsequently lent Tepper copies; see M to O. Tepper, 21 October 1882 (in this edition as 82-10-21b). Tepper (1884) was read on 15 February 1883; the printed paper has an addendum, derived from a letter to the Society, that acknowledges these two papers that 'Baron von Mueller has kindly sent me', and concludes that 'neither of the two Lerp insects therein described are identical with that observed by myself'.
MS annotation by Tepper: 'Reply 16.10.82'. Letter not found.
