Dear Newton2

I send you herewith my promised contribution for the "Ibis".3 When you send me the proof let me have the MSS. also, as there are a good many little things which may not be printed correctly.

The table of Distribution will come in your pages very well, if printed like that of Parrots in "Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864. p. —

Let me know if you will print it in your [2] October no. I shall expect you to let me have my 25 copies of it.

Hope you are quite well & have enjoyed this glorious summer.

Yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Alfred Newton Esq.
