Parkstone, Dorset.

June 14th. 1894

My dear Sclater2

They have sent me 50 copies of my paper in Nat. Sc.3 which I did not ask for, so I send you a dozen to lay in the library for any one interested in the subject.

The distinctness of the Palaearctic & Nearctic Region has come out far stronger than I expected.

yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

P. S. more copies can be had if wanted.
