Most Honored Sir Doctor t 



Professor Hegelraaier told me recently to arrange an exc hange 

 of a collection of conifers. In the appendix you willfind an index, and 

 I doubt, that there is anything, which you can use. Hut I am ready ? witft 

 pleasure to send you my entire collectiorn as I have many T duplicates of 

 all of them. The collection is on v board s as per enclosed photograph',, 

 and öfters much teaching material for the better knowledge of the Co- 

 nifers as the cones are with the branches r .. 



As the study of Conifers is ray hobby horse, and I prepared- the 

 collectiorrs for institutions of learning, I ! would be very much obliged,. 

 if you would assist my efforts through completion of my collectiorr.. 

 It would be especially desirable to obtainr of each Pinus species fine,, 

 leaf-branches, each in 12 - 15 speeimens, f ullyonature cones, each 25 - 

 30 with tightly closed cones ( which do not open) Would it be withirr 

 your abaility and possibility to achieve such a shipment ?? 



I T take the liberty to recommend the following list of deside- 

 rata to your kind consideration: • 



PINUS r 



pun^ens Michx 



contorta Dougl. 



vesinosa Sol. 



muri ca ta Don 



Fremontiana Endl.

Sabiniana Dougl.

If you would be able to provide all american Pinus, where so 



much darkness still exists,this would be a big Service to Science, the 



more as I intend to prepare a second improved editiorr of my Synopsis 



Cönif erumr, in order to correct many mistakes.. 



In the hope, that you will be able to fulfill ! my very extensive 



wishes r am prepared to take on any counter- Service with pleasure. 



With highest esteenry most devoted W. Hochstetter^
