270 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 
time for me to get them out for you. But, if they or any of them 
shall be acceptable to you—I can promise every one here noted & 
desired by you—unless I have inadvertently in any case made a 
mistake. In the labels which I shall give those you wish—I will 
carefully note the place & the source from which I have derived 
them. 
In the first list—all the underlined species are such as J have 
named & there are not a few among them, whom probably you will 
not be able to admit as new species. Nevertheless I was desirous 
of letting you see what I have so designated, subject to future 
correction—Probably I may have likewise mistaken others. In 
every case your opinion & remarks will be truly acceptable. I 
presume there are not a few—which I have heretofore sent you. 
All such—& indeed in general all that you do not absolutely 
want—I shall be glad to keep—as I have been very strict in 
naming in the list every species—of which I can at all afford a 
tolerable specimen. The sameis the case, tho’ not so generally, as 
regards the European List. In the American all those which I owe 
to your kindness & all those which I know to be common & in your 
collection are left out—which has greatly reduced the number. 
In the European list very common species are likewise omitted. 
Having been disappointed in my hopes of cramming the whole 
second List on one sheet—I was tempted to fill up the blank part 
of the new one I had to take by a list of my American desiderata, 
arranged according to the authors from which they are derived; 
leaving out in each succeeding author’s list all those already re- 
cited in the preceding ones. I need not say that if you can pro- 
vide any of these—or other new things—how much I shall be 
obliged to you—for it is dreadful how large a number is still 
wanting. I only beg to add that the European plants are chiefly 
good specimens, perhaps to be sure mostly known to you. But 
you will at least see my willingness & desire to contribute what 
is in my power. My tropic plants rarely afford duplicates—ex- 
cept the Surinam of which I have already sent all I had. 
I wonder whether you have seen that most extraordinary & 
impertinent publication which Rafinesque has just issued—on 
every possible subject, under the title of Atlantic Journal [63]. He 
is doubtless a man of immense knowledge—as badly digested as
