My dear Waterhouse

You let me have some fossil Balani from the mouth of the Indus, about which I c^d make out very little; & they are now returned.— I, also, send all the fossil Cirripedes, which I have been able anyhow to get for the Museum. Though few I hope they will be worth preserving. A few are very rare. A considerable lot was sent me named by M. Bosquet of Maestricht. M^r Woodward knows so much about fossil Cirripedes, that I hope he will see them gummed on.

P.S. I have not sent hardly any English fossil Balani, as M^r S. Wood gives his whole collection.
