tor dear Bulstrode. Upon my return last Tuesday, 
I set to it, as Shakespear says, incontinently. I 
have not been able to run through your synonyms — 
of Carices. 
Your dimervis is a good species. I believe it 
grows near Hastings in Sussex. It always struck 
me as different from distans, but I did not think of 
your excellent mark of difference. C. Micheliana 
is a good species, and entitles you to all praise. 
Pray give your vesicaria a new name. The one I 
have so called is so named (confounded with yours) 
in the herbarium. It has always been received 
abroad as vesicaria. I have somewhere among 
my papers some very cogent remarks upon the pro- 
priety of so naming it. Yours is not a vesicarious 
plant ; most probably it is Linneus’s #, or rather 
what he thought a variety of it. Its fructification 
is more allied to our sylvatica, which I take for 
granted was Linnzus’s vesicaria B. Pray do as I 
say; you will find it will be received as hypercri- 
ticism if you do not. 
If the world may be suffered after all its bloody 
struggles, I trust science, and that most natural one, 
botany in particular, will flourish more and more, 
and, under your correct auspices, stride on to per- 
fection. | 
I have used deficit with an accusative case. There 
are good and elegant authorities. 
I hope you see in all I say and do, a mind truly 
attached to you. 
S. GOODENOUGH.
