  <dc:title>Director's Correspondence</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This series consists of a single volume containing 200 letters from around 100 correspondents addressed to the first Director of the Natural History Departments, William Henry Flower (1831-1899). Many of the letters are purely official in character, such as a series from Sir William Thistleton-Dyer, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (1885-1891). Others relate to Flower's own scientific interests, including a number on anthropological topics from Alfred Corrie (1887), H H Giglioli (1889), R G Haliburton (1888-1889), W Saville-Kent (1887-1891), and J C Silberbauer (1888) among others.</dc:description>
