Dear Dr. Günther1

Will you be so good as to inform me whether you consider any of the fresh-water fishes of the British Isles to be distinct (species or well marked varieties) from those of the Continent. If so will you kindly oblige me with their names & their nearest allies.

Believe me | yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Dr. Günther F.R.S
