Dear Sir

I have just sent off my catalogue to you per bookpost, all the exhibits that have arrived are marked by a cross (No1300 - 1358 ) The German Fishery Society having no Museum or Library could not give any space for things presented to them. But the “ Prussian Ministry of Agriculture” will be very glad to place the interesting reports kindly presented by you & Mr. S. Walpole in the library, and the present Exhibition building, which is destined for the “ Agricultural Museum” would be perfectly fitted to take in any exhibits presented to the “ Landwirtschaftliches Ministerium” as the present Exhibition takes place under the special auspices of Minister [Lucius?] & his right hand [Mr Marcaed?] Mr. Johnson will have let you know, that I am not able to find quite as many pictures & tables as marked on your list; perhaps the one or the other have remained behind? I count 4 (not 5) plans of Salmon passes & 4 (not 6) tables showing food of sea fish. The last fish was terribly broken, but has been perfectly repaired.

Believe me
Very truly yours

My dear Mr. Buckland

I have been in such trouble and anxiety (all right now, thank God) that I have overlooked your letter. Many thanks for the Fisheries report most valuable full of sound sense: but what stupid people the English are. They will not see that Salmon food is a great national questions, like the cornlaws and must be carries, every one fielding his private rights for the common good. I have not read [?] [?] but I will. Meanwhile I beg to report to you [?] [?] to [?] My second specimen of Coronella Lovis, Coronella Austriaca. I suspect that he was at one time not uncommon here but killed by turf cutters as a Viper. He seems confined to these S. Eastern [moors?]. He may be an old pre-glacial form, as these moors were not submerged after the beginning of the glacial epoch, but as he has not spread over, side by side with the Natterjacks on my lawn, [?] late, just before the Straits of Dover were eaten through.

Yours ever

My dear Child

Thank God you are back safely so far! I want you very much. I dare not go out visiting and you and [Bipy?] must go to the new married Ladies in Oxford for me. You must take my place. I can well think you have worn out all your clothes that you are in rags. It is so awkward to be without money that I send £10 to refit a little. It is horribly cold here and my eye threatens again. Caroline is all but deaf entirely - this is very sad she certainly is more deaf in cold weather. The [?] Charles are coming for the commemoration they are delighted at the idea. We will discuss the Bazaar matter [?] as it will be I think I should like you to help Mrs [Tiddeman?] for Mrs Liddell is to take a part and I suspect that makes the Oxford Ladies [?] it down. Mrs T has made me some beautiful things I hear. I hope Frank's Lay studentship is safe I have my misgivings about it. Be sure you bring the rest of the Bazaar things if they are not sent before.

My dear Sir,

Miss Morland has this morning sent me some copies of her attempt to imitate the [Munich Game Piece?] It has all the spirit of the original but looks cold for want of a neutral tint. [Hole] I know is applied at Munich can you tell me whether it is laid on the paper before printing or after? if after do you know of what material it is composed. In short what is the Receipt for the wash, of to whom can they be sent to be properly tinted. My notion is that at Munich they generally tint them after printing, if so the same thing may be done in London to Miss Morland's but if it is necessary to tint the paper before printing it will be desirable to request Miss Morland's stone not be rubbed down till further orders and you will oblige me by sending a line to this effect to the printers.
Lord Compton informed me last week of your wishes to subscribe to Milles work of wh. I expect shortly to hear more I desired him to show you the Prospectus which is written by W Conybeare and which I hope you like - I am much obliged by your assistance in the [nomination?] of [Condier?] pray when I am to hear the result of my own nomination at the Linnean - if Strangeways is elected before April 1 have the goodness to desire notice to be sent to him at Earl of Ilchester, Melbury near Sherborne Dorset or at 31 Old Burlington St that he may have his [Hole} before he goes to [Missing paper] [Seale?] is now in Oxford and I think likely after another year to reside within 5 miles of this place. W. Conybeare is got nearly well again and gone to Hants. Have you yet got my specimens of Marble from [Missing paper] whose address I will thank you

My dear Buckland

You will find a figure (not a good one) of Artemisus in Rackett's paper in Lim Trans. under the name of [Cancer?] Sehiris I think. Rackett gives it's history from the Lymington Salt-pans but if I recollect right though he observed that the Brine-worms live in such a salt medium as no other animal endures he says nothing of their mode of reproducing the species. I can't find the "flins"

In haste

Ever yours

Monsieur,
J’ai reç les objets que vous m’avez adressés et je m’occupe dans ce moment de l’execution des figures demandees dans votre letter avec laquelle vous m’avez honorez.
Je dois vous dire que Monsieur Agassiz avant de partir m’a prie de dessiner pour Monsieur Lyell les figures en grande parti semblables à celles que vous demandez, et il m’a dit que les figures devraient faire partie d’un [chapiter?] que Monsieur Lyell avaid deja ecrit avec l’aide de lui. Mr. Agassiz les esquisses pour ces dessins avaient été deja traces par Monsieur Agassiz lui même et leurs endroits marques. Il ne me reste que l’execution des dessins sur le bois Il me paroit ainsi de votre letter que je ferai les mêmes dessins pour deux ouvrages differents.
Je vous écris cette observation et si vous voudriez bien avoir la bonté de ecrire à Monsieur Agassiz il vous saura certainement mieux expliquer cette affaire
J’ai l’honneur de vous representer les considerations les plus parfaits avec lequelles je suis
Monsieur
Votre tres humble et trés obeisant serosteur
