2) Burchell.² I will enquire of Waterhouse³ & Kirby.⁴ I have no doubt that Jordan⁵ is right that that strip of Coast is very good.

I wrote to Kaye⁶ who lets me [illeg.] that he could not afford to buy the moths. Janson⁷ he said wanted £10 for them: so it must be other things [illeg.] which have raised the sum to a higher level.

[2] I especially want, as F. Birch⁸ knows, the mimetic group [illeg.] on one day if possible or if not in same place. and I am especially glad of all Orders. I do not buy merely to add to the systematic series, & should hope thus to spend the £10 I lent F B. viz. on mimicry, Prof. [illeg] &c.

I am very glad indeed to hear that he is doing well & [3] realizes the necessity of collecting at any rate until he has got a ^saved saved a margin. Then of course he could try his hand at writing. With kind regards

Sincerely, | E. B. Poulton⁹ [signature]
