tigations further as regards the ' arborescent canal-system,' 

 and desire very much, therefore, to have some pieces of Eo- 

 zoon canadense in whicli the ' canal-system ' is very distinctly 

 developed. Forgive me if I give you a great deal of trouble ; 

 but .... &c.

 other, " Yours in friendship,

In another letter, dated Dec. 18th, 1873, he regrets not 

 having yet received Drs. King and Rowney's paper, where- 

 upon I immediately sent it to him ; and he acknowledged the 

 receipt of it in the above. 



I may state that through the kindness of Dr. King I was 

 enabled to send Professor Schultze some beautiful specimens 

 of the stones he desired, and was expecting from him a letter of 

 acknowledgment when I received the sad news of his death. 

 I have, however, lately written to his widow begging her not 

 to let any of his most recent papers be lost to science, but to 

 have them published, and especially any remarks he may have 

 written on the subject of Eozoon. She has not yet replied. 

 I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, 

 Yours faithfully, 



Arthur E. Barker, 



Surgeon to the City-of-Dublin Hospital

LIV. — A List of Butterflies taken on the March to Coomassie 

 hy Lieutenant Alwin S. Bell, of the 2nd West-Lidia Regi- 

 ment, between Mansu and the River Prah, loith Descriptions 

 of neic Species. By W. C. Hewitson, F.L.S. 



Fortunately for natural history as well as for my collection. 

 Lieutenant Bell, to whom I am greatly indebted for butterflies 

 taken under circumstances of so much interest, is a naturalist 

 as well as a soldier ; he most unfortimately, however, became so 

 ill that he had to be sent back in a hammock to the coast and 

 put on board the ' Victor Emmanuel ' before he had penetrated 

 further than the Prali. Lieutenant Bell, who is now in England 

 slowly recovering from fever, speaks of the difficulty of procu- 

 ring butterflies as great, from the narrowness of the pathways 

 and the density of the bush. JMany of them flew only high 

 over head, and never came within his reach.
