Another Wallace Letter

    The following letter, dated December 22, 1900, is from Wallace to Richard Lydekker (1849-1915), an English vertebrate paleontologist who worked at the British Museum (Natural History), regarding his review of Wallace's Studies Scientific and Social that appeared in Nature. My thanks to Dirk Backenkoehler, who owns the original of this previously unpublished and unknown item, for generously granting permission to display it.
