Botany, Torrey’s Flora of the Northern United States, and even 
Hooker’s Flora Boreali-Americana which embraces a region far 
larger than the United States, extending from Newfoundland to the > 
Pacific and from the Arctic to Northern California, were included © 
among ‘‘ Local Floras,’’ all mention of even the earlier editions ot . 
Gray’s Manual was omitted. i 
We will endeavor to bring Mrs. Brandegee’s mind to a proper - 
understanding of the great truths of geography, instructing her on 
the authority of our learned friend that National Parks, Indian and 
military reservations, etc., are not to be classed with the States and 
Territories to which they are geographically allied, but must form 
part of an agglomeration labeled “ Pieces of United States prop- 
erty.” 
We will also exert our authority to prevent her in the future from 
“hurling back ” (at the risk of breaking) any of our friend’s phrases 
upon which he may have filed a caveat. 
Itis perfectly natural for our friend to feel that there cannot be 
on the Pacific Coast of North America more than one person with 
such exceedingly bad taste as to dissent from any of his views, but 
a due regard for the truth compels us to admit that there are 
several. 
We beg the learned editor to allow us to pass out of the shadow © 
of his wrath, and receive our. humble apology with the assurance 
that the gentle rebuke administered to Mrs. Brandegee has in no 
way diminished our regard for him.
