Parkstone, Dorset
Feb[ruar]y 19th 1895
Dear Mr Hemsley,
Will you kindly tell me whether the statement in Proc. Of Linn. Soc. (1894 p. 10) referring to Mr C. B. Clarke as the authority for the Empetrum Nigrum in Dorset (which you exhibited May 4th 1893) is correct or a mistake. I thought Mr Mitten sent you the specimen. I was with Linn when he found it in 1892. When I saw Clarke’s name in "Nature" I & Mitten both thought it was a misprint, but as it stands in the Linn Proc. I suppose there is something in it. If Mr. Clarke did find it, at what date was it?1
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
