Museum, June 20,1892. Dear Prof. Church, I Send you a sample of Black ri, ce just recieved from Dr Prain of Calcutta who suggests that you 'may like to look at it'. We do not seem to have had quite the same thing in the museum previously. The sample need not be returned as I have quite sufficient for museum purposes. Faithfully, Yours John R. Jackson.
