My dear Dresser

Please give me the figures more nearly what you estimate them at, but in the larger areas some allowance may be made for new sp[ecies]. to be found.

As I only want a general view of the amount of Bird Life, a rough estimate will do. I hardly think however that the difference between new & old estimates of species will be so very great as there are [2] so many Genera with one or two species only about which there is no doubt.

Anyhow all sub-species & varieties can be ignored.
