About List of Coleoptera of the British Isles Fowler had revised for ARW about nine years earlier for Island Life. Is there sufficient material now for a more accurate list and if so does Fowler know of anyone other than himself as he would be too busy to undertake updating it. ARW rather hopes there is not a sufficient amount of new facts to render alteration necessary it but his publishers have asked for corrections for a new issue.
Encloses a signature he forgot to send earlier. Has some queries he wants cleared up. Where is Rhizophagus to be inserted in species list? Is authority Blatch & Hotner? Asks for other authorities for other items.
