Dear Sir

I received the proofs of illustrations yesterday, & will send them to the printer with the slip-proofs whenever possible.

As to the localities to be inserted in the maps, my intention was, when I received the proofs of maps, with whatever places are known, for on them, — I would send a list of the additional places mentioned by Spruce³ [2] and either describe, or mark on the maps, the position of those places. Not having proofs ^or MSS ^{in hand} yet, I cannot send a list of all his localities, nor would it be of much use, as most of them will be on ^all the maps. of 40 or 50 years ago, though some are often omitted or the names altered, on more modern maps.

A proof of the map, with the names inserted by hand [3] would perhaps be best ^{for me} as I could then insert the others or suggest changes in type to emphasize those most often mentioned by Spruce.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Spruce's drawing seem to come out very well.⁴
