“ I think mine was the last letter, but I intend to write to him about my Sicilian tour __ You may remember that he volunteered, in a letter to me, to communicate for your use, if you chose it, a number of Asilidae ___ his collection, which he considered we described; and I have little doubt he would readily lend his typical specimen of Apistomyia for your use, how best transfered from Paris to you?
