fying to me the death of your predecessor in office, & inviting the 
establishment of mutual relations in the matter of exchanges. 
I amin charge of a small entomolojical museum in our College, 
& I shougld be happy to send you insects from S. India in ex- 
change for others írom Chile. To-day I have despatched by sam- 
ple post a small box containing a few coleóptera I had in hand, 
& would ask you to be kind enough to send me others from your 
regions. The kind I desire are not the rarer specimens, but ra- 
ther such as are more showy & striking to the eye. 
By & bye when Ishall have heard from you again, I may send 
you other specimens from this country. 
Trusting the box will reach you safely, I remain. — Yours 
faithfully. — L. V. Rewton.
