M^r Wallace’s Notes deserve a place in our Transactions ^Journal, and being of very moderate length ought to be inserted without curtailment. They form the most authentic account of the part of New Guinea which he visited, and the only [1 word illeg.] one by an Englishman. They do not include the department in which M^r Wallace is strongest, that of Natural History, which no doubt, he reserves for another occasion.
