Walden, Pontail Road, Fleet, Hants. - Has reviewed 'Myths of the Origin of Fire' and enjoyed it; raises a few points: the King-Crow is not called the flycatcher but the drongo, though there is another bird called the flycatcher; had not heard the reason for the enmity between the crow and the drongo, cites A. A. Perera's 'Sinhalese Folklore Notes' which has a different story; also points out that bamboo grows beyond the tropics.
Accompanied by an envelope with note in Frazer's hand, "'Myths on the Origin of Fire' Notes".
