Dear Mr. Wallace
Your map is in the main right —
G. glandarius 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. bispecularis & G. sinensis are so closely allied as to be scarcely more than local races of each other —
The same may be said of G. krynicki & G. atricapillus
[2]G. taivanus, of which I have a skin in a good species, with black nasal plumes —
I have also a skin of G. lanceolatus which is the most distinct of all.
G. hyrcanus 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. Danford1 & Havie-Brown2 found only G. glandarius in Transylavania.
Yours truly | Henry Seebohm3 [signature]
