It was prowing amongst a lot of other Sphagna, and it was not toticed until I hepun to overhaul the material to dry it. It was collected, as I recall it now, while on a sort of picnic trip where most of the collecting had to he done hy grabbing a quantity of stuff and rushinr on so as not to delay the party. I have never been back to the place since. Then you return it please send it by first class mall as that is about the only kind that seems to come through on time during the Christmas rush. 7 e y 'y t ru 1 y your s, TLbe Hsa ffira?

Dear Sir : The coming iSth day of November marks Dr. Asa Gray’s seventy-fifth birthday. It seems a fitting time for the botanists of North America to join in some token of their esteem and good wishes for one who lias done so much towards the study and classification of the flowering plants and the gen¬ eral advancement of the botany of this country. Many memorials have been presented to Dr. Gray but most of them have come from near and personal friends. The idea of this one originates with those further away. It is not decided what form this memorial will take, and we should be glad to receive any suggestions. The intrinsic value of it will, of course, be of least account in the eyes of the recipi¬ ent; its value will depend chiefly upon the number who unite in the offering. Will you join with other botanists in sending such a token to Dr. Gray? If so, send at once whatever you wish to contribute — 25c., 50c.. $1, $5, any sum you please—to Charles R. Barnes, 14 Buckingham St., Cambridge, Mass., who will return receipt if desired. Please also enclose your card with some sentiment suitable to the day inscribed thereon. This will accompany the gift. In order that this matter may not reach the public prints be kind enough to say nothing about it. The time is very short ; will you give this your immediate attention and make a reply of some kind ? Sincerely yours, J. C. Arthur, C. R. Barnes, J. M. Corn. ter AW;.. , '?- yffrUsT On^£ ~£^'- ~> Cambridge, Mass., November 20, 1885. The self-appointed committee who undertook the collection of funds for a birthday token to Dr. Asa Gray, desire to report their action. Circulars were sent to all botanists whose addresses we could obtain in the very limited time at our command. Doubtless many were omitted who would have been glad to contribute. All such omissions must be ascribed to the absolute necessity for haste. By the 31st of October the number of replies received, and the amount contributed, seemed to indicate that about $300.00 would be in hand before the iSth of November. Accordingly Messrs. Bigelow, Kennard & Co. of Boston, were asked to prepare a design for a vase of solid silver, with appropriate floral decoration, whose cost should not exceed $300. The design was submitted on Nov. 3, and after consultation with as many as possible at Cambridge, was accepted with slight modifications. The vase with its pedestal was completed Tuesday night and presented without formality on Wednesday morning, the 18th inst. The cards which accompanied the sub¬ scriptions were placed on a silver tray and presented as the greetings of those who embodied their good will in the vase. A full description of the vase, with illustrations of both sides, will be published in the December number of the Botanical Gazette, a copy of which will be sent to you. The January number will contain a portrait and biographical sketch of Dr. Gray, together with some of the poems, congiatulatoiy addiesses, etc., which were sent on his birthday. Orders for this number (20c. per copy) should be sent early to John M. Coulter, Crawfordsville, Indiana. Receipts and expenditures have been as follows : By 180 cash subscriptions To printing, postage and envelopes To discount on Canadian money To car fare, six special trips To vase and card plate To printing, postage and envelopes $ 33 S - $ 338 - $ 6.95 .04 .60 325.00 5 - 4 1 J.

My dear sir:-- I fear that you have ere this given up all hope of hearing from me regarding the mosses you sent me long ago for naming. I look¬ ed over about half of them last summer,and was then compelled to defer the study of the rest by the receipt of more urgent collections. A few days ago I finished all but some of the Hypna. Now I devote all my spare time to elaborating a collection by Dr. R&ll along the line of the Northern Pacific for the herbarium of the National(German) School of Forestry at Zftschen. As this work will take several months I will not delay sending the names of those I have determined,and re¬ turning specimens of those which I have not yet examined.

Office of Publication, 616 Lake St., MADISON, WIS. March 2.1895. Mr.J.F.Collins,Providence,R.I. My dear sir:-- I find your letter awaiting me after a brief absence. In reply I have to say that the price of Husnot’s Musco- logia Gallica is 5 fr.per livraison. As there are 14 of these parts the total cost is 70 fr. (See Bot.Gaz.20:85. 1895.) Whether there' is any reduction when all are bou, ht at once I am not able to say. The only journal devoted exclusively to the mosses is Ilusnot’s Revue Bryologique,most of the articles in which are printed in French though occasionally one in English appears. I am not aware that Wore - any English journal exists in which more than an occasional article on mosses appears (as in the Bot.Gaz.). Hedwigia is devoted to the cryptogams in general and has most of the moss literature appearing in German journals,though occasional papers appear in the other general periodicals. Revue Bryologique is published by Th.Husnot,Cahan,par Athis,0rne,France at 5 fr. (Ithink) per year. Hedwigia is pub. at 12 marks,but the publisher’s address is not at hand,though I can get it for you readily enough if you want it. Each is bi-monthly,the Revue containing about 100 pages annually,Hedwigia about 5001X Yours very truly , ///p/d)# , _ ^ , 5 - j ^-y^. ., t J j~ /y^^ct _ • / sT&t' - ^ *, /$“/$ ^ ^ 6Z'fJ J, c ^i/*&*%', i/L''^ s£> * c/ < Vf«i 4 i.:, 4- ^J r >&tSl /4~ 3~/ c^'^f' jf ^^^ast*ur&+**+-— C ’ ***■ - ^/Vtr*~~9c4.,) +W*u. * - - ^,r , / /*"/ J°' ^irg^, >slAiSi4sC*C++*<> , i "' t 468 Hope .5treet, rovi&enee, L.

I ho o to have more time after Christmas. Your "Air ship expedition" mosses have been lying on my desk all this time. home day I shall get at them so as to be able to clear off : y desk. The latter has nearly reached that stage whore I have to clear it of in order to find room to work. Then you will hear from me in regard to them. I shall be very glad to have the Georgia mosses sometime. They will be all the more valuable if named by Uarnstorf, Cordially yours. ^r jou, Jft^- ^a^U^£y r . %^^-" \.^ y ~*^w~ ZZZs -<^ ( £?^w- ^&L*XJZS tf~- f °~3 ?

Thank you very'much for them, out, really, T almost think I am more thankful that fan er you wpre ii no hurry for the names; I am so crowded with oth.er work just at present. I am. interested in what you say about arijstorf. About a year ago I wrote him askins if he would care to examine my G-aape" ohagna. I never got a reply an. consequently assure that he did not care to see them. erhaos I did not have the correct address. If you will rive it to me I will write again. I have recent 1;; thought of writing to another uropean . phagnologist, but have not done so yet. I will try and remember w" at you say about sending the extra Georgia driern to !rs. Britton. I have today had a letter from her in which she says they are all broken-hearted over Underwood's deoth T am not surprised that they are. By the way, at the next club meeting you may expect me to ask if you hay® found out about the meaning of the "3n/32 solutions” mentioned on page 261 (et seq.) of the October Gasette, provided I don't forget about it.

Thank you also for the solution of the solution Question. I had about concluded that the ”m" probably had something to do with "'molecule”, but felt decidedly uncertain in regard to it.

Dear Bartlett:- I have just had an opportunity to look up the matter of the Tal'le-top fphagmpa which you wrote about on the 5th inst. is you do not mention ther? being any number on the packet I assume that there was none. If this asumption is correct then the plant is, with very si if It margin for ctouht, Sphagnum Girgersobni funs. If there was a mucker on the pocket it may till be this species, though more likely one of two ether oped os collected at the same time. The above mentioned is the only one that I collected in Quantity on soil 24, as I now recall it. The other two species being collected "for locality only". If you are sure that there was no number on the sample you arc safe in calling it as stated above. If "do. 2" appears on the original packet then it is jS. hussowi var, rhodocroum fuss. If this number appears on the original packet please let me know, otherwise I will understand that it is £. Girgensohni . ky only reason for saying above " ver; sli ght margin for doubt" is that there nay possibly have been a "Ho. 2" on the padre l and it was overlooked or lost before it reached you. I think very likely it would be a goof plan to have some of your blank U b s : iter. hen I . to over i2 I will let you 'mow ’row many of ere] you. had better send re. Cordidll; yourc, J.

I am acting during the absencj of Prof. Hus. If he comes baok when his leave is up (three years) I'll go back to Sashington| or hunt elsewhere for an opening. Still want Polytrichum and Catharinia?

H., Dear Sir:— Would you be so kind as to place this letter in the hands of some one who may be willing to answer mv inciuiries ? c There has been a great deal of interest lately in some parts of New England as to.* the greatest size attained by certain kinds of frees, and in Rhode Island, especially, statements have been published, based on careful measurements of particular trees that were claimed to be the biggest known of their kind. In reply to such a claim concorniii|i the white pine, I mentioned the magnificent row of white pines bordering the Ashuslot giver in your town, and expressed some doubt whether Rhode Island could surpass them. Reliable figures were called for; so,for the credit of Winchester,! am writing to ask if some one will not take and send me careful measurements of the girth of sev oral of the largest of this row of pines, She girth of the trunk should be measured in feet and inches breast high from the ground. If a tape measure is not to be had, any stout cord that will not stretch will do and the measurement taken from the cord carefully with a two-foot rule. Of course cars should be taken to keep the tape or cord level all the way round the trunk, so that the measurement will be trae.

I was almost as astonished as if I had found It was at ripe strawberries, but parhaps that only shows my ignorance Magnolia,in woods near the station--we found a few fruiting bits—some fallen capsules, and some still afittached,and containing spores. Last July and August I found plants two species at least,in the Magnolia_swa= swamp, abundantly fruiting; I looked in my Braithwaite's Sphagnaceae, but suppose the dates were given for English specimens—then in Lesqueu and James,and found no dates--then in the mounts that dear Mr.James gave me,and found the dates ranged from June to Sept, inclusive,and were mostly New Jersey specimens. I should be ever so glad to Imow what you can tell me, for two of the Botany Group were with me,when we found them—on March 15th. We rambled around close to the Magnolia statu-^ but brought back only about thirty species, and many of them sterile. I had promised Mrs. Tower and Mrs. Read that! would show them Buxbaumia growing,and so I did,but the plants were not quite ripe—they were sitting in little coveys on the bank by the station road. We got a sterile JBleurocarp that I said was the same that Dr.Grout had named Eurhynchium Boscii ,but there was a great outcry—they knew Boscii--! had found it in Brookline where a lawn sloped down to a retaining wall, and also had some exactly similar from the French Broad River—banks of—both golden- .and bronze in color,and growing in rather I|arli gutattixal (garden, Hotfix* gaxjli, JXcxo ‘IJcrrli City.

But as we get more space, more money end more help, I shall get them all straight in time, and so will you. I should be glad to help you by running them over hrstily with you, if I could. But I suppose most of your puzzles, require critical examination.

My dear Mr. Collins:- We are back from our trip to Jamaica where we made a great haul of mosses, hepatics, lichens and ferns. Doctor Evans and Mr. Bichols were with us as well as Professor Underwood and Mr. Britton, so we had a good time and found lots of treasures. One day last week Kiss. Lorenz spent the day with me and we went over her puzzles. Among them was a specimen from Mt. Mansfield, collected on the Fourth of July trip,which proves according to Dr. Best to be either Pseudoleskea substriata or lescuraea frigida , from Kindberg's imperfect description^ apparently the latter. Miss. Lorenz is sending you a duplicate at my request. I also enclose a specimen about which there seems to be some doubt, it may be- of interest to you, so keep it. I also had a call from Mr. Chamberlain^whom I had not previously met^and he told me of your having mounted the Wilson duplicates for Professor Farlow. You may be interested to know that Mr. Williams is in England,where he has gone to pack the Mitten herbarium which we have just purchased.

At the latter place it almost seems, as I now look hack upon it, as if we had mutually agreed to nersiste tly dodre each other; at least we could not have succeeded hotter if we had.

You probably know before this that I have resigned my position in Brown University in order to accept a position in the Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington. My permanent address will be,as heretofore, the Providence address given at the top of this sheet, although in the summertime I expect to be in the field most of the time. For this reason the chances of my being able to arrange to take one of the scholarships that you mention are not very favorable, though by no means out of the question, so far as I can see now. I am still following up the Polytricha as my avocation, and I am hoping that I shall have more time for the work when I am in Providence than I have had for several years past; it could not very well be less.

Pear Mr. Collins:- We are getting ready to print the first part of Volume 15 of I. A. Flora and I am asking favors of those who are likely to have specimens from other places than we have. Can you give me any extensions of ranges of the same species that I asked Prof. Chamberlain about. I enclose his letter and ^ / two duplicates of Hew England stations for^rare species'. The Polytrichaceae do not come in till the end of Part 4 of Vol. 15 so there is no hurry, but if at any time you wish to come here on one of our "Research Scholarships" for a month, please let me know and it can be arranged. With best wishes for the lew Year, Sincerely yours. 460 Hope Street, Providence,, R«I. 23 Jan. 1912 My dear Mrs. Britton Your letter of the 10th, addressed to Providence, was forwarded to me in Washington where I have Been since the middle of December, until within 46 hours, I have Just had opportunity to look iip the records t■ at I have of the species mentioned in the letter to Hr. Chamberlain (which I return herewith', I fear that I can add little, if anythin/?, of interest to what has already been indicated, but as I am uncertain in several cases I indicate below what may be of interest, although I think you r.tst already know of all of them.
