Notes

Correspondence from William P. Blake to John Torrey, dated 1855-1856, primarily discussing the publication of the geological and botanical sections of vol. v of the Pacific Railroad Reports, such as page proofing and the production of plates. Blake, though primarily a geologist, also touches on botany, forwarding some leaves to Torrey for identification, and mentioning an oak he has found that he suspects may be a new species.
