Edinburgh.

May 11th [1876]1

My dear Sir,

I send you now the reports from the proceedgs of the R. S. sent from Valparaiso - There are some other short reports which I will look out for you. You will not find yet much detail as to the geographic distribution of deep-water forms for most of this species are undetermined and have to be worked up and named before this [2] can be referred to.

I shall have something rather more full out shortly.

Yours vy faithfully | C Wyville Thomson2 [signature]
