Jevons and Walras corresponded with each other after the publication of
Jevons's Theory and after Walras finished his manuscript of the Elements.
The first letter, from Walras to Jevons, is dated 1 May 1874. They were
very eager to cite each other, as they tried to establish an international
group of mathematical economists, which involved many economists from
several countries. Jevons searched libraries and established a
bibliography of mathematical economists, in order to demonstrate that he
had forerunners. I would therefore say that Jevons did not fail to cite
Walras (and others), quite the contrary applies.
