WP - The Alfred Russel Wallace Correspondence Project

lined on the other with printed divisions into two geographical
regions (Australian and Indian) further divided into island groups
(page of a collection register?). Two items assumed to be misfiled
were removed and relocated: letter to Daily News re flying
machines in war (see papers on this specific topic in WP ) and
reprint The Palaearctic and Nearctic . . . Mammalia and Birds'' (see
WP7/72 ). It is possible some or all of the papers above are not
those originally in the titled cover, which may have been created
by WGW, as not all are letters, but all more or less fit the
category.
