In looking over a copy of the ' Curiosity World' I saw a notice 

 of your paper The West American Scientist. From the 

 name I think I should like to be placed on your list. Please send

 other subscribers. C. S. Hobbie.

I hope you feel well encouraged in your publication. I like i 

 more and more, and think it most useful, especially for Pacific 

 Coast Naturalists. I want to preserve and bind my copie-. 



Here let me say that it does not only ''seem like romance," but 

 it is the very thing itself, where Prof. Keep says that the parents 

 of the late Isaac Lea, came over with William Penn, (vide Jan. 

 number. West American Scientist, p. 25.) Plis father's name 

 was James Lea, while the ancestor who came over with Penn was 

 John Lea. Between John and Isaac Lea, several generations in- 

 tervened. Sincerely yours,

FUNGI, MOSSES, ETC., WANTED. 



I am desirous of obtaining correspondents in California, who 

 will collect mosses, liverworts and fungi from your coast. Some 

 one who desires to make a collection in any or all these lines, who 

 is willing to collect largely. We will so far as possible, name 

 specimens when sent in moderate quantities, and return a named 

 set, or, if any one would take up the work with enthusiasm, 

 would send in advance a named set to give them a start. We 

 could, if desirable, send a few other things from this region, as 

 shells, etc., in exchange. Can you help me in this line? 



I am getting out a new edition of my "Ferns and their allies." 



Yours truly, 



L. M. Lhiderwood.
