Abstract

In the odonatological reprint collection of the Natural History Museum Senckenberg (Frankfurt a.M., Germany) an original letter of Michel-Edmond Baron de Selys Longchamps (Liège, Belgium) to the German odonatologist Friedrich Förster (Schopfheim), dated 15 February 1896, was found. The document is not only proof of a contact between two scientists but gives also an idea of how Selys planned and prepared the publication of his research. The facsimile of the letter as well as a typographic transcript and a German translation are provided.
