Parkstone, Dorset.

July 28th. 1901

Revd. Canon Fowler1

Dear Sir

I find I forgot to send you the signature you asked me for, which I now enclose.

In making the additions to the Coleoptera you sent me there are a few points I want cleared up.

1. Where is Rhizophagus to be inserted in my list of new species? And is the authority (Blatch2 & Hotner?)3 (I cannot make out the second name.)

2. Telephorus figuratus var cruachanus. (Chilty) or (Chitty)?

[2] 3. Heteroceridae — where does it come? and the authority? (Kuwest?)

I cannot find either of these names in the Naturalist’s Directory or would not trouble you.

Yours very truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
