⁂ An excellent group including several important papers by Darwin's collaborator A. R. Wallace, covering much of the research that was produced during his time in the Malay Peninsular that would contribute to his famous collaboration with Darwin "On the tendencies of species to form varieties; and on the perpetrations of varieties and species by natural means of selection" (that paper listed here in vol. 3, no. 12, though present in an earlier number). The volumes all include presentation inscriptions from John Stevens Henslow (1796-1861), friend, mentor and correspondent of Darwin's.
