time of his lecturing at Cambridge. I suppose I may remain there a month; & I hope to receive much benefit from the change,—tho’ I fear ⟨ ⟩
⟨ ⟩ Very Sinly Your’s | L. Jenyns—
P.S. I had a letter the other day from Lowe of Madeira who thinks that the Scorpæna Histrio figd in No. 1.2 & from the Galapagos is the same as one found in the Mediterranean & about him in Atlantic: the two species are very nearly allied I grant, but I can hardly think it possible for them to be the same.
