  Hi 
  

   from 
  S, 
  America. 
  

  

  Having 
  reached 
  the 
  conclusion 
  of 
  these 
  statements, 
  I 
  can 
  

  

  American 
  bryologists

  not

  tematically 
  and 
  more 
  copiously 
  than 
  has, 
  perhaps, 
  heretofore 
  

   been 
  customary. 
  In 
  doing 
  this, 
  the 
  common 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  

   rarer 
  forms 
  should 
  receive 
  attention. 
  Only 
  by 
  doing 
  this 
  

   can 
  we 
  expect 
  that, 
  in 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  time, 
  more 
  Hght 
  maybe 
  

   shed 
  on 
  the 
  geographical 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  different 
  species 
  

   and 
  forrfs. 
  I 
  should, 
  in 
  such 
  event, 
  be 
  cheerfully 
  ready 
  " 
  

   investigate 
  and 
  report 
  upon 
  any 
  small 
  or 
  large 
  collections 
  o 
  

   Sphagna 
  that 
  might 
  be 
  sent 
  to 
  me. 
  Small 
  packages 
  can 
  besj 
  

   be 
  sent 
  by 
  mail, 
  at 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  expense 
  of 
  postage, 
  maikea 
  

   " 
  Samples 
  without 
  value." 
  The 
  packages 
  must 
  not 
  exceed 
  

   8 
  inches 
  long, 
  4 
  inches 
  wide 
  and 
  2 
  inches 
  thick. 
  Each 
  speci- 
  

   men 
  should 
  be 
  numbered, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  allowable 
  to 
  attach 
  aticKe 
  

   to 
  each, 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  locality 
  should 
  be 
  noted. 
  It 
  vviU 
  be 
  ai 
  

   the 
  more 
  agreeable 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  receive 
  such 
  Sphagnum 
  pack- 
  

   ages 
  from 
  manv 
  different 
  regions, 
  because 
  I 
  intend 
  to 
  elaDO' 
  

   rate 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Sphagna 
  in 
  a 
  separate 
  treatis 
  • 
  

   I 
  hope 
  that 
  this 
  preliminary 
  work 
  may 
  help 
  to 
  excite 
  an 
  

   heighten 
  the 
  interest 
  in 
  the 
  difficult, 
  indeed, 
  but 
  very 
  re- 
  

   markable 
  family 
  of 
  the 
  peat-mosses. 
  To 
  Mr. 
  Faxon, 
  ^v" 
  

   has 
  had 
  the 
  kindness 
  to 
  translate 
  this 
  work 
  into 
  English' 
  

   here 
  express 
  my 
  most 
  sincere 
  thanks. 
  May 
  he 
  lo^g,^" 
  

   tinue 
  to 
  take, 
  as 
  heretofore, 
  an 
  active 
  interest 
  in 
  sphagnoio..
