Dear Dr. Gunther1

I enclose a list of genera of Anourous Batrachians published since your B. M. Catalogue & about which Mivart2 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]
