genus Laphamia - of which these five
species known, though some of them may
hereafter be separated.-

The [memoir?] will be so heavy
that I think it would cost as much as
40 or 50 cents postage to send it
by mail

I hope to have a specimen of 2 or 3
of the species of Laphamia to send
you.

Yours truly
A. Gray
