Let me express my best thanks, dear Dr Beccari, for your sending me the new number of you admirable Malesia.1 Each essay is again so marked by critical acumen and learned thoroughness!
You will have received some months ago already my treatise on the Highland-plants of British New Guinea.2 Since then Sir Will. Macgregor3 has brought a considerable number of such plants from the Aestuary-delta of the Fly-River, as before had not been found outside of Australia.4
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller
