A HUE AND A CRY FOR A LOST AND UNDESCRIBED HEPATIC 



Caroline C. Haynes to Fellow Members 



May I ask those of you to whom I have sent specimens of Hepatics to see if 

 you have among your pockets of Cephalozia one whose label reads: " Cephalozia 

 hicuspidata (L.) Dumort. Below Lime Kiln Falls, Adir. League Club — 2nd 

 Oct., 1910. C. C. Haynes, No. 1257." 



This pocket contains a mixture = C. hicuspidata + an undescribed species. 

 Alas, I have but a slide of it. It happened in all probability that a hasty exami- 

 nation showed the common species and the pocket was distributed with others. 

 It was only after a lapse of years that, coming across the slide, I discovered a 

 second species — a joy to behold. I would like the pocket, should it be found, 

 returned to me so that Dr. Evans can describe the species. 



Hoping that all will agree with me that this is to a botanist, though one of the 

 minor tragedies, a very real one and awaiting word of it with hopefulness and 

 gratitude.
