May I be allowed to suggest for your consideration in any future Edition of your work on the structure & distribution of Coral Reefs, the great advantage that would accrue to Students of accurate Drawings colored, if necessary, of the different Coral producing Zoophytes mentioned in your work.1 or some of the most important of them: Works on Coral are not often accessible in the Country:
Believe me | Yrs sincerely | Horatio Piggot
