Mr. Walter Dearie, 



Brewster St., 



Cambridge, '-ass. 

 My dear Dearie : 



Very much obliged for looking up for me the 

 origin of Ariocarpus. I shaxl adopt the idea put forth 

 by Wittstein to the effect that it is "like the fruit of 

 Aria". The oldtigenus Aria is now referred to Pyrus.
