 For Mr. Weber 



With_.aH- -spine-bundles one nust observe,that the lowest spine 

 is lighter(a) ,whereas the two next to it,pointing sideways downward 

 (b) are darkjwith some figures this is good but with most too little 

 observed, thus specially with the topmost.The spine (c) is also dark , , 

 all ofjrthem lighter below. ; further the spines, primarly the stronger 

 ones have edgetf.I pointed this out to Mr. Weber at the time. the p ent- 

 eil drawing is perhaps not clear enoughh, but should be compared 

 again? specially concerning the shading of the spines,. Further, these 

 spines are distlnguished through a thlckening of the base; »whicHr nust 

 be indicated better for several ; only for the middle spine figures 

 the rieh, young wool Covers the base of the spines, 



The spines, which I have marked thus^^ seen to be too dark. 

 The pi stils of the flower are good, only the outer indetation or fur- 

 row should be extended to the bottom or rather thus. 



The shading of the floral tube is not as I desire it; it should 

 be much nore round ed with nore shading on one si r5 e,but the spones f as 

 far as they are in the light nust be Ii. cht er; also the scales, which- < 

 are visible below the uppermost snineburdles, nust be denarkated nore 1 

 distinctly. Compare the earlier fl owering picture. 



I belrieve, that if what should be darker, would be nore enclosed 

 ( also the spines which are marked (b) and (c), the dif f erence would 

 becone nore anuare^t, and the entire picture would improve» 



Mkny of the spines, which .. terninate so nee die- or bristle-like 

 thin nust becone stronger; see (c); I believe that these figures 



are misleading specially on aecount of their slin spines. 



The spine (f) below rieht is apparently too pale. The middle- spines, 

 de s i gnate d. ( c ) show a ba s e 1 ik e this : 

 I assume it should be like so : 

 Conpare the drawing.
