Notes: Last date based on the fact that Alfred Russel Wallace was
working on his edition of Spruce's ''Notes of a Botanist on the
Amazon and Andes'' in 1906 and 1907.(See letters from Alfred
Russel Wallace on the subject, mainly 1907).
All the pamphlets have been put into one acid-free envelope but
should probably go into individual acid-free containers. PJL
