Dear Dr. Wallace,

In reply to your letter2 this morning, I shall be pleased to recommend the Trustees to allow your publishers to take electro of all the blocks you mention, except fig. 55 [2] of Mammalia (Tetrabelodon) which belongs to Gaundry's publishers in Paris. This is not a very satisfactory figure after all. Can you wait until June 25th., the next meeting? I feel sure the Trustees will grant your request. In the case of figures by [3] Marsh3 & Traquair4 it will be necessary to state in the legend that they are the authors.

Yours sincerely | A. Smith Woodward5 [signature]
