Dear D^r. Wallace

Falsan's¹ original map appeared in a series of large sheets which form the Atlas accompanying his work entitled "Monographie géologique des anciens glaciers et du terrain erratique de la partie moyenne du basin du Rhone:² par A. Falsan et E. Chantre,³ 1879. 2 vols. Fortunately a reduction of the large map is inserted in vol. ii. a copy of which I send you. (The author re-issued the map in a separate paper, from which I have taken the enclosed.) You could doubtless borrow Falsan's large work from some of the libraries: but it is easier to copy from a map which [2] is not bound up. Please keep this map as long as you please — I am in no hurry for its return, as I have Falsan & Chantre's big book & this Atlas to refer to, if I wish to do so.

Yours very truly | James Geikie⁴ [signature]

Pray dont trouble wrapping up this map elaborately when you return it — I have done so to keep it flat for the copyist. Just double it up in any ordinary envelope.
