Dear Friend 
To give you a good example and simultaneously a little lessonr 
for firend Enno Dander I answer your esteemed letter already three 
days after receiving and have asked Bolander to fulfill various re- 
auests as far as this is possible at this time..It is strange, that 
in a city like St. Louis there 1s not one entomoloeist. Following | 
vour direction I have influenced Bolander to write in our next Flo- 
ra about chanees in species distribution, making available to him 
new facts, and agreed to compose a introduction. I will have to 
A | 
steel the time for this from another project, which I have berun 
about the Lepidoptera of California. 
The copy of the proceedings of your Society I have not re - 
ceived yet. Some species of Cactus persist with us on Tock and »„+.. 
„... E.g. there are in the environment of Los Angeles and San Diego 
two or three species native; one kind is found on rough silica on 
the tableland toward Oresron. I know it only throush the systens 
and their locality throush Mr. Röder, a gardener and very good 
seaAS 
collector of /who at this time cannot be reached. 
Mr. Bolander will contribute conebearing conifers, seeds and 
eones. The Cuscuta found by me on Ceanothus has been lost from the 
Flora of S, Francisco. However Bolander will be able to provide it 
as he the species on a botarical excursion in various locali- 
ties. He [in addition a third species with surprisingly large flowers 
from the vicinity of Clear Lake, found, if I am not mistaken, on 
Adendtoma. 
The Sagittaria, introduced by Chinese, has been collected 
and transferred to Bolander for drying. This species became lost for 
our Flora a few days ago when its locality was filled with sand and
