From Ferdinand von Mueller to Paul MacGillivray   17 Feb 1893

17/2/93

These are from Port Elliott,1 dear Dr M'Gillivray, and may interest you as regards locality.2

Always regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

Encounter Bay, SA.

Almost certainly specimens of hydroids found on collections of seaweeds. M regularly provided such specimens; for example, MacGillivray (1895a), p. 138, reports M as providing a specimen of Amathia woodsii, but from Port Stephens, NSW; and Bale (1913), p. 133, in describing Sertularia muelleri from Encounter Bay acknowledges M as the donor. See also J. Hussey to M, 8 June 1893.
