  The 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  my 
  time 
  at 
  the 
  north 
  was 
  favorable 
  for 
  

   work 
  among 
  the 
  Carices, 
  as 
  thev 
  continued 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  a 
  good 
  

   condition 
  for 
  study 
  there 
  till 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  August. 
  There 
  

   are 
  some 
  which 
  we 
  expect 
  to 
  find 
  as 
  restricted 
  to 
  the 
  north- 
  

   ern 
  regions, 
  or, 
  if 
  more 
  widely 
  spread, 
  are 
  more 
  common 
  

   there. 
  Among 
  those 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  of

  mentioned 
  C.

  C.

  and 
  usually 
  in 
  

   company

  equally 
  abund'ant 
  C.
