Möst Bönored Sir Doctor ! 



Already in possession of the second of your kind shipments since 

 several weeks,which are dated Jän. 2? and Feb. 11,1' should, as yöu may 

 think, have answered you faster., Hbwever, I did not have the time at 

 the moment to work through the material withr some kind of leisure, be- 

 cause in these first academic years one is tied dowrr in several iways,, 

 the more so, if one is saddled with 1 lecturesrabout different special! 

 discipliness and further, this working through the materiall,as far as 

 r have been able to advance, takes 2-3 weeks>so that IT came only to-

First of all 1 my best thanks,which F ask you to pass on to Mr. 

 Austin^ because I do not write english. What of my notes may have inte-

 to be able in the not too distant future.to express my gratitude to 

 both of you further,.

supposed-, as I leaned by accident recently, , to be now in possessiorr 

 of a count Alb.de Franqueville, rue Palatine 5»Paris. One sent to me 

 sometime earlier from the latter 1 s collection- the Callitrlche , and,, 

 there were within them several original labels by Stendell Ad re - 

 rum ^Callitriche ;Your C.heteropoda is a very stränge itenrr The fruit 

 round ed 3 as with Gr}Cc*rdC>\<JX and such, but a fruit stem present , thougfr 

 I could not find how microcarpa^ differs substantialiy from peplol- 

 desj. The fruit distinctly strumose. The vegetative organs however rela- 

 tively modestly robust, but I have seen peploides also f ronr Loui stana 

 like this ( in Karl Burhinger). In the essay,.
