Dear Sir

I shall call at the Geological Society tomorrow (Saturday) at about $\frac{1}{2}$ past one o clock, & would you be so good as to have the following specimens &c &c ready for my inspection, as my time is short— I do not know whether the books & charts are in your department; if not w^d you be so good as to give this letter in time to proper person— 1^st. All fossiliferous specimens from Van Diemen’s Land.¹ 2^d. Any rock specimens (if there be any) from S. Georgia in the Antarctic seas 3^d Every chart in possession of the Soc of the Newfoundland Banks 4^th. Any charts of the Banks on NW coast of Scotland, between Scotland & Norway; I think they are called the “northern banks” 5^th. The 10^th vol of the Annales des Mines 3^d. series² 6^th. The 10^th vol of the Annales des Sciences Naturelles, of each series, if there be more series than one, as I do not know in which the paper I wish to refer to is in—³

I do not want to take away the charts & perhaps not the books but merely to refer to them.—

Please endeavour to have them ready for me & believe me | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin S. Woodward Esq^r
