Dear Sir
Will you be so good as to procure for me, as cheaply as you can, the two volumes on Cirripedia, published for me by the Ray. Soc.— I believe that they are sold by Mess Hardwick & Co.— I forget price, but I think it was 30s.—2
These vols. are for Dr. Anton Dohrn for the Zoological Station at Naples; & I have directed Mr. Murray to send copies of all my publications to you for the same purpose.3
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
