My dear Engelmanr, 
I just receive, though late, the specimens trans - 
ferred to Fröbel of Palomon and Flatirostra (?) and others. 
How strange these Palomon in river water ! I have these from 
only 3 or 4 localities, North Carolina, Charleston S.C.„New 
Orleans, St. Louis and throush Baird from Lake Huron. 
IT shall next carefully research if.they agree genetically 
exactiy with Palomon. Could you give me information about the 
place where the young Flatirostras were found and the circum- 
stances of their esgs. Baird was here yeserday and excused him- 
self for the repeated delayinge od other shipments, that these 
had accumulated to such a degree that he for that reason 
could not take care of them. That is probably the only plau- 
sible explanation which does satisfy me entirely, though it 
is a fairy tale that such things can happren.. 
find out if the enclosed letter may reach Mr. Stolley at this 
adress;The nice gentleman only porvides a ........ adress, but 
sends nice material and in good shape. He announces again three 
barrels, which are supposed to have arrived at Messrs.Anselrodt 
and Barth in St. Louis.Is it under present circumstances possible 
to route them by way of New Orleans. Kindly contact the sentle- 
men and do for me the best you can. 
u Friendly sreetings from my wife and also to the dear
