Dear Sir,

In reply to yours of today’s date¹ I am posting a spare copy of my paper² in the Trans- Roy. Soc. to you. The word Linn. (instead of Roy.) may have been a slip of mine; but I noticed when I saw my letter in print in Nature³ that the Editor had altered my citation —

If you give a very hasty glance at Drude’s⁴ Map of Botanic Regions in the last edit. of Berghaus⁵ Physical Atlas⁶ I think you will be satisfied that any "tabulation" on such a Map as that is impracticable —

I believe the general opinion, both here at Kew, and at the British Museum, is that my simplified Map requires more simplification —

Your’s with much regard | C. B. Clarke⁷ [signature]
