My dear Sir
I write merely to thank you much for the Balani, which arrived quite safely & which when I come to the fossil Sessile species will be very useful to me.—
Yours sincerely | C. Darwin
If you ever hear of any fossil Cirripedia, I shall be grateful, if you will bear my monograph in mind.—
I got your Lubbock to join your Society3
