1843.] Asiatic Society. 337 



two years in Europe since I heard directly from you, and on examining my copies of the 

 Asiatic Journal, I find the following numbers have never reached me ; viz. 77, 78, 79, 81 , 

 82, 83, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 97, 98, 99.— No. 113, is the last come to hand; perhaps you 

 could by application, obtain for me the completion and perfection of my copy of this 

 valuable publication. And if you could aid me by sending for my cabinet any speci- 

 mens in the department of Comparative Anatomy, you would confer a great favour. 

 I was so unfortunate, during my absence in Europe, as to lose all my anatomical collec- 

 tions by fire, the labour of twenty years. The Professors of the Garden of Plants in 

 Paris, on receiving intelligence of my great and irreparable loss, presented me with a 

 very fine nucleus to form another cabinet, and I am emboldened to ask assistance of 

 all my friendly Correspondents. 



A full account of my new fossil bones, Orycterotherium Missouriensis, is not yet 

 published, as it will be I hope soon with plates, when I shall not fail to send copies to 

 foreign Correspondents. 



As regards specimens in Comparative Anatomy for my cabinet, which is intended to 

 illustrate a series of lectures on Comparative Anatomy and Physical History of Man, 

 any bones, fossil or recent, or casts of them, would not come amiss, but I am par- 

 ticularly desirous to obtain skulls and teeth. R. Harlan.
