          the Geological report has failed to send it I
 shall feel much indebted to you for a copy
 of each of these works. You must be sure
 however not to bring me so much in debt to you
 in this way that I shall never be able to
 repay your kindness.

 hope to receive another volume soon.

 of Schw. (Long 2d Ex ii pp 387 & 388) entitled to places among
 the species?
