The honorable Graham Berry &c

M.L.A., Chief Secretary.

 

Sir.

I have the honor to solicit, that as now the 10th Decade of the Eucalyptography2 has been finally issued, a copy may be forwarded to each of the institutions or Gentlemen, mentioned in the byefollowing list in return for publications or for botanical collections continuously received from them by us here. The list is nearly the same as that of the recipients of the 9th Decade, the slight alterations made arising either from death of former cecients3 or from discontinuance of sendings of previous correspondents.

I have the honor to be,

Sir, your obedient servant

Ferd. von Mueller.

The Under Secretary, T. Wilson, submitted M's list for the approval of the Premier, J. Service, on 12 November 1884. On 21 November the Secretary to the Premier, E. Thomas asked: 'Will the Government Printer please state whether any distribution of the 10th Decade has already taken place, and if so under what instructions and to whom?' The Government Printer, J. Ferres, replied on 27 November: 'Copies of the 10th Decade have been distributed, as per attached list.' Thomas reiterated on 1 December: 'The Government Printer has not replied to the latter part of my minute'. Ferres responded on 2 December: 'The answer is given in the heading of the list'. Thomas asserted on 2 December: 'Instructions were given that presentations were to be made only on the Premiers authority and there is no record of any such authority being issued for these presentations.' Ferres replied on 5 December: 'The 10th Decade completes the work and in conversation with Mr Thomas, I pointed out this fact; and understood that the supply would be made on the authorities already in existence. It was, of course, understood that no new presentations would be made without the Premier's authority.' Service approved M's list on 16 December.
