Wallace, A. R. (1859). Letter from Mr. Wallace concerning the geographical distribution of birds. Ibis : 1 (4): 449-454
Summary:

ARW makes “a few remarks and criticisms” of Sclater’s paper [Sclater, P. L. 1859. The Geographical Distribution of Birds. Ibis, 1: 449-454.]. He challenges the areas that Sclater proposes for his “six grand zoological provinces” by redefining the regions. ARW discusses the geology and zoology of these areas.
