10 February, 1870.
My dear Mr. Darwin,
I must apologise for troubling you again so soon.1 You told me some time ago of a gentleman who made a study of the skulls of Cattle, and was doing good work with them. Could you kindly inform me where I could find this gentleman?2 I have a series of Skulls of the small Chinese Yellow Cow3 together with a photograph of a fine Bull of the same breed and I should like much to get him to examine them before I put them into the Museum.
Your’s very truly, | Robert Swinhoe.
