[[insertion, with arrow pointing from "Dolops" on next page]] In letter from B.M. dated 18.2.35. Nixon says: "In my opinion your specimen is unquestionably [[underlined]] Dolops hastifer [[/underlined]] M. I have carefully compared it with Marshall's type [[female symbol]] & 3 [[2 male symbols]]. I am strongly inclined to think that Marshall's type of [[underlined]] aculator [[/underlined]] is only a small [[female symbol]] of [[underlined]] hastifer [[/underlined]]. In any case it is a good deal smaller than your [[male symbol]]." G.E.J. Nixon. [[/insertion]]

Transcription Notes:
Some confusing insertions (e.g. "in wood" on right page, "which the Hemipteron" on right page); not always clear which line they're referring to. Also, "Phygdeuon" (right page) is probably a misspelling of 'Phygadeuon', and "occellatae" (right page) is probably a misspelling of 'ocellatae'. -@mnathan
