2 -Mr. ff. D. 



A few years ago I gave my herbarium , except the grasses 

 and sedges, to the University of Illinois so I cannot now refer 

 to my collection, of Euphorbia cyparissias. I find in my field 

 hook for 1896 the entry "34 Euphorbia cyparissias I, roadside, 

 escape from graveyard, West of Mokena [Will Go. 111.] June 7V 

 I think I collected this species several times but I began 

 keeping field book only in 1896 and then like a good many amateurs 

 I seemed to think that numbers were too rare and precious to be 

 used lavishly and did not number common things I had collected 

 before. I think that I gave Dr. Millspaugh duplicates of all 

 Euphorbias. If it is worth while Dr. Greenman could look up 

 this species in the Field Museum for fruiting specimens. 



We are very glad to hear that Dr. Robinson has entirely 

 recovered. 



Yo^^rs sincerely, 



Scientific Assistant in Systematic Agrostology.
