Parkstone, Dorset.

Dr. A. Günther1

Dear Dr. Gunther

Will you be so good as to inform me if the statements as to the habitats of the Gwyniad and the Vendace in the enclosed letter are correct.

Also will you be so good as to look over the List enclosed of peculiar British Freshwater Fishes, which you were so good as to give me ten [2] years ago, and make any corrections you think necessary now, either in the species included or in their distribution.

I am preparing a new edition of my Island Life2 & wish to have the facts as corrected up to date.

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