LETTER No. 9. 



Kew, England, February, 1906 



Since my last letter of acknowledgment was issued (June, 1905) 1 

 have received at my Paris address, 107 Boulevard St. Michel, the 

 following list of specimens. Many of them from Australia and Europe are 

 of such special interest on account of rarity that they will be considered in 

 detail and illustrated in the next two issues (No. 21 and No. 22) of 

 Mycological Notes, which are now in the printer's hands. I am advised that 

 a large number of specimens have been sent during the past season to my 

 Cincinnati address. These have been shipped to Paris, and I shall probably 

 find them on my return to that city next month. They will be acknowledged 

 in detail in the next letter.
