Dear Mr. Keltie¹

Many thanks for proof of D^r. Sambon's paper. It looks like "thought reading" on my part! especially as almost every one of my observed facts ^{and arguments} are supported by him. But I have held these views ever since the old tropical days, and it is a striking example of how hard popular misconceptions are to get rid of, that notwithstanding the facts I have quoted, well known to everybody, press writers still go on upholding the old superstitions!

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
