From J. V. Carus 26 January 1871
Leipzig,
Jan. 26. 1871.
Dear Sir,
On page 128, note 45 of Vol. I. of your new work you quote some papers of Mr J. Wood. But unfortunately you give only the references to the Volumes without giving the title of the periodical.1 May I ask you to write me, what periodical you mean? Perhaps I may find it out here, but I think the shortest way is to ask you directly. At any rate in a second edition you must give the title.
Two misprints: p. 118. note 28. Here the second Volume of the “Variation” is meant. p. 20. note 23. Canestrini quotes Hyrtl (the Vienna anatomist) instead of Hyrt.2
Pray excuse my haste, and believe me | Yours ever truly, | J. Victor Carus
