Dear Sirs³

I return the Maps. The "Llanganati" only wants one name added, as shown on 2d.[?] side — as I see Spruce refers specially to it.⁴

On the general route map, I have enclosed a list of a few further corrections — noted also on the Map. I have been more worried by this Map than by all the rest of the book, as I send at first, full materials, especially [2] the Society's Map — ^{(issued by Stanford 40 years ago)} and my R. G. Y. Rio Negro & Naupes Map — neither of which seem to have been used at all!

To omit "S[t]. Gabriel," and the "cataracts," from a Map of the Rio Negro, would have been incredible to me, even by a beginner in Mapmaking — besides all the other gross blunders, I have had to point out — for they are nothing less and the excuse is absurd. In my opinion a humble apology is what is needed from Mr. Stanford in [3] such a case as this. But this is, of course, between ourselves — "Private".

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
