“ Your collection must embrace new rare materials - as are hardly to be found together elsewhere. The edifice of Meigen has been rebuilt to a considerable extent now piece by piece, but these are scattered here & there, and the need must be felt for a complete revision of the Diptera of Europe, to supplement, if not to supersede, his memorable labours. ”

“ When the sun has struggled out through the clouded sky as it does occasionally I have not neglected collecting as I must take exercise for health in any case when I can—but I have not obtained much. My chief search and a fruitless one has been for the purpose of replacing a genus of Hymenoptera my only two specimens of which yielded dinners to the Psoci while I was so long disabled by illness—I came upon the first specimen of Pegophila meridionalis a few days ago. ”

“ I sent the substance of them at once to C. Rondani asking him however in preference to any written answer to trust me with the loan of a specimen for the safe return of which I would take every precaution. He says he has but the one and is unwilling to risk it by post or otherwise and sends the slip I now enclose to you as I am not sure with the written additions that it would pass as printed matter.
