Decr. 3rd 1873

Dear Dr Gunther

I enclose a list of genera of Anourous2 Batrachians3 published since your B[ritish]. M[useum]. Catalogue & about which Mivart4 can give me no information. Will you be so kind as to write opposite each, the name of Mivart's family to which such as you know belongs and return to me.

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