My dear Sir

I sh^d. be very much obliged if you could get some one to name the photographs of the enclosed insect & read the enclosed letter.¹ It seems a pretty, but I think not new case of protective resemblance. One might fancy that the large ocelli on the under wings were a sexual ornament.— Perhaps these photographs might be worth exhibiting at the Entomolog. Soc.—² I do not want them returned (unless indeed D^r Zacharias wants them back, which is not probable) or the enclosed letter. A single word with the name of the genus & if possible of the species, would suffice.—

Pray forgive my troubling you & believe me yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

I am glad that F. Müllers letter interested you.³ He has published a paper with plates on the shape of the hairs or scales on the odoriferous glands of many Butterflies, which I c^d. send you, but I doubt whether you w^d. care for it.—⁴
