All received by me in the Malay Archipelago. The MSS. of my Paper sent to Darwin and printed in the Journal of the Linnean Society, was not returned to me and I never thought more about it. If, as seems probable, the proof with the MSS., was sent to Sir Charles Lyell, the MSS.may have been put away among his papers and forgotten. A.R.W.
