- … letter from M r Eyton of Eyton, who has grand collection of skeletons of Birds (& who has published on pig’s skeletons) & he says he has been making skeletons of Hamburgh & Dorking & “will send me some notes”. I mention this that you may not be forestalled. I did not know that he was at work on Poultry; though I knew he was on dogs.
