Alfred Russel Wallace
To:
Clement Reid
Date:
7 December 1899

  • Natural History Museum, London: NHM WP1/8/275
  • British Library, The: BL Add. 46437 f. 73
Summary:

ARW returns the papers C. R. lent him. The paper on Spitzbergen was very instructive, to do with the rapid motion of glaciers and occurrence of ?re-eddies which Bonney denies. The paper on Skye is more puzzling. PS Owing to terrible drought, April-August, none of the Acer seeds came up, nor seeds of Cornus nuttallii.
