Dear Flower2
I merely write to give you my address, in order that you may be able to send me the paper on Crania3 &c. you were so good as to promise me.
I see in the last Anthrop[ological]. Journal a valuable paper on the "Motu4" of New Guinea, with such statements as p. 672. "The Motu belong to the great Malayo Polynesian family"— and p. 473. "The hair is of a peculiarly frizzly[sic] nature"—
Yours faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
