Lippstadt,

Sept. 28, 78.

Dear Sir,

With the greatest interest I have lately read your admirable work on Tropical Nature² and I would like to give an abstract of it in one of our Journals, but unfortunately I do not understand the meaning of some of the English names of of plants, birds, butterflies and moths made use of in your work. I would, therefore, be very much obliged to you if you would ^be/ good enough and write me the systematical names belonging to the following English ones: blue-bell ([Cam]panula?), milk-wort (Polygala?), [Butter]cups (Ranunculus?), chatterers (Bombycilla garrula?^Cotingidae), gold-crest-warbler (Regulus cristatus?), gaper (Muscicapa?^Eurylaemus), barbets (Bucco?), (Camperwell-beauty [sic] ^{Vanessa antiopa}, blues (Lycaenae?), coppers (Polyommatus?), Emperor-Moth (Saturnia- carpini ^pavonia [illeg.]), Purple-Emperor, ^{Apatura iris} Magpie ^{Abraxas grossulariata} Mullein-moth, ^{Cucullia verbasci} Orange -tip-butterfly, (Anthocharis cardamines?) [2] Yellow-underwing-moth (Triphaena pronuba?)

With the most sincere respect | Yours very faithfully | Dr. Hermann Müller³ [signature]| Oberlehrer.
