Dear Mr. Deane: 



With regard to the matter of Gar ex stellulata 

 I would say that I have prepared a revision of the 

 group, but when it was nearly completed I found that Mr. 

 Mackenzie had already a revision practically ready for 

 the press, i wrote him offering him the use of my 

 manuscript and suggested that he should do the publishing. 

 Meanwhile I. named up the material in the Gray Herbarium 

 and sent it back to Cambridge, if Mr. Mackenzie's 

 final paper differs greatly from mine I may still publish 

 my results. I do not know how soon he hopes to have 

 his paper out. We are both agreed, however, that C. 

 echinata must be taken up for C. stellulata . Fernald 

 had already come to that conclusion. We all three have 

 come to the conclusion also that £. interior of Bailey 

 must be taken up for £. soirpoides of the manual. My 

 idea of the use of the other names will be found on the 

 herbarium sheets. I suspect that Mackenzie will differ 

 from me in making C . oephalantha a species. 



Sincerely yours,
