NHM-WP07.115
Note:
1899.00.00?--1899?
Notes apparently on cell division and development of the embryo; in A. R. Wallace's hand on a single sheet of lined exercise-book paper written on one side only; headed "?Mss - to come at foot of first slip"; note beginning "(To the Editor) | I send the above condensation" at the foot of the page. Notes: This probably belongs with other notes; possibly the file of oddments labelled "Variation" - relating to whatever the particular publication is. "Darwinism: an exposition of the theory of natural selection..." (1889-) seems the most likely; there is a discussion of the embryonic development of man on pp. 448-449 in ed. 2; but it may be some unidentified short work.

V, N.S. part VI (July 1860) Notes: MISSING? This description was part of old record WP4/27 and was not found as a new record when checking the DB for errors after final listing, 3 Feb 2004. Ref. No. has been assigned at end of sequence as location of document is impossible to determine without physically going through boxes, which there is not time to do at this stage. Note made in Nov 2003 indicates it was moved to new series WP7 for listing; it was probably missed during numbering and should be somewhere there, probably inserted into another document.

Letter to Mr Wallace (WGW?) from F. P Pascoe, from 12 Newborough Rd Acton, London July 15 (no year - 1913?) saying that he encloses a paper which might interest him. Notes: If by Francis Pascoe d 1893 the letter must be to A. R. Wallace, but probably from Pascoe's son, written to WGW and enclosed in envelope dated [1913?] addressed in the same hand: see WP12/3/2. Letter and envelope were in separate document wallets when listed but in context and given hand almost certainly belong together.
