Dear Mr. Wallace

Your map is in the main right —

G. glandarius³ scarcely goes so far north as you have made it. I should put its northern limit at 64° in Scandinavia & 62° in the Urals — but I have a skin from Archangel.

G. bispecularis⁴ & G. sinensis⁵ are so closely allied as to be scarcely more than local races of each other —

The same may be said of G. krynicki⁶ & G. atricapillus⁷

[2]

G. taivanus⁸, of which I have a skin in a good species, with black nasal plumes —

I have also a skin of G. lanceolatus⁹ which is the most distinct of all.

G. hyrcanus¹⁰ I have not seen — It appears to be nearest to G. glandarius but to be fairly separable.

G. krynicki — I much doubt its being found west of Constantinople. Danford¹¹ & Ha[r]vie-Brown¹² found only G. glandarius in Transylavania¹³.

Yours truly | Henry Seebohm [signature]
