Notebook:
undated
Mss. Lectures on the subject of the tropics; three undated notebooks in A. R. Wallace's hand Notes: Possibly for BAAS meeting Aug-Sep 1863 (See Michael Shermer 2002, p. 153). Could be from A. R. Wallace's American tour 1886-87, UK tour 1890; RI lectures c 1908 or others, but BAAS meeting seems likely as he lectured there "On the Varieties of Men in the Malay Archipelago" (Shermer, p. 153). Press cuttings may help date them.

Buff envelope approximately 13 cm X 10 cm labelled in pencil, possibly in two different hands, "Geological & Glacial | Photos - | Ananda C. Swamy. | Aarschlucht." The words "Photos - Ananda C Swamy. | Aarschlucht." are almost certainly in A. R. Wallace's hand, "Geological & Glacial" may be in another hand (WGW's?) or added at a later date. When listed this envelope contained ten small undated photographic prints, nine showing geological features, probably glacial, and one apparently showing a devastated forest of tree stumps, possibly after a fire or tornado, though it may be a view of a petrified forest. Two may be of Aarschlucht (a narrow glacial gorge with a lake at the bottom in Aar, Switzerland) but are not labelled and do not show a lake. There is no photograph of or obviously by, Ananda Coomaraswamy. The prints have been listed separately as WP17/8/1-10
