Parkstone, Dorset.

July 29th. 1900

I have just returned home & found your P. Card2 with corrections re Cordylodera. Many thanks for it. Such corrections are a real kindness. How I got the "Philippines" I cannot tell unless Westwood3 made the mistake in referring to it. It has remained 33 years uncorrected. The spelling is correct in the reference to the case in my Nat. Selection. What tropical heat we have been having!

Yours &c.| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
