Misreading of A. R. Crawford?
MS dated to October 1886 on the assumption that it is a reply to M to O. Nordstedt, 5 August 1886, some specimens being numbered and others not as described in that letter, and October being the earliest date when Nordstedt could have responded. Translations are given, where required, below relevant text. O. See also O. Nordstedt to M, 15 April 1886.
