My dear Sir/
By my friend Mr Ramsay Curator of the Museum, who leaves here for Melbourne on the 3rd prox. en route for England — I send you a small box containing specimens of water plants which I obtained lately on the Lachlan River2 or rather some distance from the River.3 I regret that owing to the dry season the number obtainable was very limited.
During the coming winter I expect to be located for a time in the Barrier Ranges4 near the South Australian boundary and whilst there I will not fail to keep an eye open for any aquatic plants
Many thanks for naming the climbing plant.
I remain my dear Sir
Yours very truly
K H Bennett
