was, at least, its true equivalent. At this time my brother, Win. S. 

 Sullivant, was in correspondence with Dr. Arnott and Mr. Norman 

 of Hull, England, and I know he sent a portion of the specimens 

 you furnished to England, and have every reason to believe he then 

 communicated the idea of the re-discovery of the Bermuda Tripoli 

 by yourself. 



I have little doubt that the specimens sent by my brother were the 

 first sent to England and thus brought to the notice of the micro- 

 scopists there. My impression is that he sent also at the same time 

 to Smith and Beck. 



I never was in correspondence with Arnott or Norman, but my 

 brother was. It is probable, then, that your quotation about them 

 was in one of his letters, not mine, although I had access to their 

 correspondence, as my brother had to mine, and if the quotation was 

 in one of my letters it must have been taken from his (their) letters. 

 I do not recollect what I did write as to this quotation, but if con- 

 tained in one of my letters it must have been as above. If you have 

 the letters that will decide. At any rate my strong impression is that 

 we never heard any suggestion as to Bermuda Hundreds, and the 

 rediscovery of the Tripoli, until it was made on this side of the 

 ocean.
