My dear Mr. Deane:- 



1 received your letter of February 3d in due time, 

 andwas glad to get your cri ticisnrc . op points in the Vermont Flora. 



If you find any Rhodo%ndron nudiflorum from Vermont, be sure 

 and let me know, but 1 shall be surprised if it turns up in this State. 

 My delay in responding to your request for Vaccinium corymbosum vc^r? 

 atrococcum and V. nigrum was in the hope that 1 might get duplicate 

 specimens of these from Eggleston; for some reason or other, he fails 

 to reply. Without waiting further^ 1 send you my mounted specimens of 

 these and shall be glad to get your opinion of them. I, also, enclose a 

 specimen o f ^Kss^ms^o>^^mn^M&^mmn , Scirpus Peckii. 



What do you think of Sargent's list of species of Crataegus 

 for Vermont?. 1 may be in Boston at the time of the April meeting 

 of the Club; do you suppose it would interest them to see mounted 

 specimens of this new species?. Much critical work has yet to be 

 done in Western Vermont. 



Please give my kind regards to Mrs Deane, and believe me, 



Yours sincerely,
