recelved a print, only corrections. . However. I hope to be able to send? 

 to you very soon specimens of both pines with cones, if I can find the 

 time to go into the woods, and I hope, that you, observing the differen- 

 cesscontained in an accompanying letter, , will be able to determine se 

 few new forms from the american pines.. The leaf-scars give the best dif- 

 ferenceffiwherby one can determine also specimens wlthout oones; Micros- 

 copic differences do not work with pineffi Of the pines Weymouth pines,. 

 , strobusj excelsa, Lambertiana show very small 1 differences; montlcola 

 does seem different'; Acahulte seeras to me to consist of at least 2 Spe- 

 eles-, but I am not sure,N<WHas I do not get to 1t, to exaraine the prepa- 

 ratlons carefully, and, as you mentlon in a letter, that a mix-up with 

 flexilis , oould have taken place, and thus it could be, that the speci - 

 mens, which appeared so different to nie, could have been this.. I am myself 

 so anxious about several species, that I regret.not to be able, to get 

 to this Job. By the way, flexilis differs- surstantlailyf rom all Strobus. 

 and Cerabra. I have cones under the narae of radiata. which are very stränge,, 

 but, as I am missing insignls and sabiniana. I do not know.if perhaps 

 it is not one or the other. You do not mention the name radiata with any 

 of the specimens. According to Henkel and Hochstetten- it is supposed to 

 CTOW neaT Monte-ey, and ^rom there I have rauch frora you. My battles for 

 the Freedom of the Forests will soon be decldedi. In October the Reichs- 

 council will convene in Vienna and will deliberate about the Reichs - 

 Forest- Law as introduced bv the minister. If it falls, then I am vlcto- 



rious, if not, then not. The 



se are questions of property rights, of which 



there could be no idea in America* because there nobody would take Orders 

 from the State, what he may do with his land and aoill.I am so very occupied' 

 wlth excerpinea , t as I have books here from the library of the Prague Univer- 

 sltyywhich I must return wlthin 2 weeks.and thus I cannot even look up 

 the preparations of my lar^e collection of Acahuyte. Chi huahuaana. monti- 

 cola, occidentalis. etc, of whom I would like to report to vou raore. 



iüllü!
