They are dated respectively 21st July 1860 and 6th Oct. 1860, and are 11 and 7 pages long. There is also a list of contents. The second quarterly report has the title "Short description of the photogramms sent to the honourable Committee in May." The text includes the passage "....I refer to the numbers of the photogramms and present them, in a sort of catalogue, in three sections: I Nos. 1-3, memories of the Blue Mountains and Mysore; II Nos. 4-19 views of Kurg; III Nos 20-52 Results of my last journey to Malabar." - The nature of the albumin prints indicates perhaps that Richter was making paper negatives (BFN 12.1999). - Richter sent a similar set of photographs to Hermann Gundert by hand of Georg Plebst. He commented on them in a letter to Gundeert dated 08.02.1851. "Brother Plebst will bring you 16 photogramms. 1. The Mission Compound in Cannanore [QC-30.016.0016 oder 17]. - 2. The engl.
