156 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 
lehem, which will excuse me for two months. Does your Mono- 
graphy of the genus Viola [68] embrace all the species of the 
Northern States, or only those of North Carolina? I wish you 
would write to Silliman to let me correct the proofsheets, or else 
attend to it yourself, for he is totally ignorant of Botany & will 
make a thousand blunders. That little paper [go] I published in 
his last No. is full of typographical mistakes & makes me blush 
whenever I look at it Dr. Ives promised to overlook the printing, 
but his practise is so extensive that he has no time to attend to 
anything but his profession—There is no other botanist of con- 
sequence in New Haven—Will you have any plates? Did you 
know that Le Conte has long been engaged in writing a Mono- 
graphy of the Violas? He has about 30 species drawn, many of 
which I think are only varieties. He will never publish anything. 
You have probably seen him on his way South—if not he will call 
on you when he returns in April. He will not stay away so long as 
he used to do, now he is married—His father died the other day, 
at Newark— 
Do not fail, my Dear Sir, to send me those fresh water Algae 
as soon as you find it convenient, & also your new Andreaea, 
which I am very anxious to see. 
Since I wrote you last I have received a letter from Bridel 
in which there is a catalogue of some mosses I sent him. Of 93 
specimens, he considers 33 new species! And in many of his 
determinations he differs both from yourself & from Sprengel— 
The following are some of your differences
