My dear Stainton,

After much difficulty I have got Standinger’s Catalogue & have gone all throught it, & extracted the accompanying list of species & var.[ieties] noted as British only.

Will you be so good as to look over it, and let me know whether any of these have since been found on the continent, — or have been decidedly to have been mistakenly separated from continental species. In either case I will strike these names out & give the rest for [2] what it is worth:

One I see is a peculiar genus. Please let me know if this still remains peculiar to Britain both as species & genus. (Perittea)

Also, if you can give me a list of the new species discovered since the date of the Catalogue, & which are not know from the Continent, I shall be much obliged.

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