THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 195 
peep at it which I hope you will excuse—In the package was a 
letter from Hooker & as I would have wished you to do in a similar 
case I send it on by mail as the bundle might not reach you in 
a week. Hooker writes me that he wishes to correspond with 
you—& offers Nepaul & other fine things.—This has prevented 
me from dividing such of my specimens as would bear the opera- 
tion, knowing you would get much better from the Prof". himself. 
Really it would make your mouth water my dear Sir to see the odd 
& charming things! Have you the Musc. exot. [Hooker, 35]? 
I told you, I believe, that the generous author had sent me a 
copy. This gentleman has made remarks on 240 crypts which I 
sent him last Winter.—Where his determinations differ from yours 
I shall take the liberty of mentioning them. It will only be in 
my power now, however, to mention some of his names of our 
Jungermanniae. J. sertularoides & laciniosa are only J. ciliaris! 
I never could find the difference between the two former—J. 
tridenticulata Mich. is J. trilobata. J. capillaris is J. trichophylla 
Brit. Jung.—Several which I sent you but whose names are not 
yet returned, have been named by Hooker. No. 282 is J. bidentata 
284-crenulata Hook. Jung. 281 (J. nov.” Schw.) is J. triob. 
B minor Hook. Jung.—Our J. bicuspidata (Flushing) is J. bident. 
var. min. No. 321 which you called J. tridenticulata is J. 5-dentat. 
Hook. Jung. (J. barbata Schmid.). No. 323 (“ J. scalaris” Schw.) 
is J. sphagni with gemmae. We are doing a little in botany here, 
but want time badly—Halsey has made some additions to his 
Lichens. We shall have a good fellow to add to our number in 
2 or 3 weeks in our friend Cooper, who is returning from his 
travels in Europe.— 
More anon— | 
Believe me my dear Sir your devoted friend 
L. D. Scnweinitz Esq‘. Joun TorREY— 
ẹ 
P.S. I think it best not to send your monograph [71] until we 
agree about the synopsis [67]—then I should be very glad to ex- 
amine the former by your specimens if possible. I know you 
will not be offended if I speak freely about it. We shall, probably, 
not always agree about species—I am for reducing the number a 
little.—I had almost forgotten to reply to your 3rd unanswered 
letter which, indeed, was not the least acceptable for it contained
