  few 
  miles 
  away. 
  Of 
  the 
  six 
  species 
  

   no^wn 
  to 
  grow 
  elsewhere, 
  four 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  deserts. 
  But 
  

   against 
  the 
  connection 
  suggested 
  by 
  this 
  fact 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  set 
  the 
  

   northern 
  derivation 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  remaining 
  species, 
  so 
  that 
  no 
  

   satisfactory 
  solution 
  presents 
  itself.

  During 
  the 
  year 
  1835, 
  

   Abraham 
  Halsey, 
  Esq., 
  of 
  Hartford, 
  Connecticut, 
  made 
  a 
  

   number 
  oi 
  drawings 
  fcr 
  Dr. 
  Barratt, 
  designed 
  to 
  illustrate 
  a 
  

  

  work 
  on 
  North 
  American 
  Will 
  

  

  lished. 
  These 
  drawings 
  are 
  now 
  the 
  property 
  of 
  Columbia 
  

   College, 
  and 
  last 
  summer 
  Dr. 
  Britton 
  — 
  thinking 
  I 
  might 
  be 
  

   interested— 
  kindly 
  sent 
  them 
  to 
  me 
  for 
  inspection. 
  They 
  

   represent 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  the 
  species 
  common 
  about 
  Dr. 
  

   Barratt's 
  home 
  in 
  Middletown, 
  Conn,, 
  but 
  among 
  them 
  I 
  find 
  

   one 
  of 
  S. 
  Hookeriana, 
  and 
  under 
  this, 
  in 
  Dr. 
  Barratt's 
  own

  There 
  is

  under

  a

  of 
  the

   and 
  name

  as 
  given 
  above. 
  No

  compar- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  two 
  sketches 
  w^ith 
  the 
  plate 
  in 
  the 
  Flora 
  Boreali 
  

   Americana 
  would 
  fail 
  to 
  perceive 
  that 
  all 
  three 
  were 
  drawn 
  

   from 
  specimens 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  gathering. 
  Than 
  this, 
  nothing 
  

   could 
  be 
  more 
  satisfactory 
  and 
  conclusive. 
  To 
  Mr. 
  Scouler 
  

   belongs 
  exclusively 
  the 
  credit 
  o{ 
  discovering 
  this 
  most 
  re- 
  

   markable 
  willow, 
  and 
  the 
  Saskatchewan 
  habitat, 
  which 
  has 
  

   all 
  along 
  held 
  the 
  first 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  books, 
  and 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  

   one 
  given 
  by 
  Andersson, 
  is 
  shown 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  mistake 
  

   from 
  the 
  beginning
