My dear Sir Joseph Hooker1

I send herewith my chapters on the Flora of New Zealand2 &c. & also the preceeding Chapter on the Zoology, because it contains a map referred to subsequently & also supports the general argument in case you can find time to glance through it.

Believe me | yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
