From Ferdinand von Mueller to Alphonse Milne-Edwards   4 Jan 1895

4/1/95.

In writing to you by last weeks mail,1 dear Prof Milne-Edwards, I sent a list of the articles contained in the box,2 which Mons Aillaud so very kindly is taking to Marseilles by the Australien for you. But the list contains also a Foetus of Dendrolagus Bennetti and Earth worms which were not sent this time as I was afraid specimens in alcohol to pack into the same box with the Minerals. So I kept them back til next time, when in the beginning of May the Australien will be here again.

With the best new years felicitation

your

Ferd von Mueller
