LETTER No. 17. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, November 1, 1907. 



List of specimens received from Europe and foreign countries since the 

 last report, May, 1907. 



We list the plants here under the names as we have labeled them in 

 the museum at the time they were received. Some of the species received 

 from foreign countries, where the subject is little known, do not have 

 names, or impress us as being marked forms or varieties of known species. 

 In these cases we think it is better to not specify the plants by definite 

 names until we make a comparative study of the subject in connection 

 with other forms known from these countries. 



I beg to thank my correspondents for the very liberal contributions they 

 are making to the museum. All specimens received are carefully labeled 

 and systematically preserved. My publications are sent to those who favoi 

 me with specimens, and I trust are a partial return for their trouble. 

 Yours very truly,
