The shrub-oak is also to be found as a small branch on the third ridge of the 

 OsOthills and this, with the one I sent you, could give us the Solution, since 

 here we would have the transitions in the nearest vicinity. On the Tamal Pais 

 I also found the serrated (Norchus) as a form of branch. I shall watch everything 

 closely and send you a report in time. 



Dr. Torrey left again on the löth for the East. 



My sincerest thanks for the Ohara shipment. 



With best greetings, 



Your obedient 



Henry N. Bolander. 



Dr. Oooper informed me that he had found the third Oornus species frequently in 

 Washington and that it is listed among his plants. The wide ränge of distribution 

 from North to South at this West Ooast is stränge; however, may easily be 

 explained by the so very similar climates.
