 Dear Mr. Deane: 



I am sending you, under separate cover, samples of two plants 

 which I brought home from Lake Winnipeftosis last summer which I 

 should like to have identifier]. They are common things and probably 

 you will know at a glance' what they ar« and be surprised I did not 

 know them, but this is only one more evidence of my ignorance as 



» ^otonist. ^fi^^Zc^ 



The tall caries, as I call them, were growing in great perfusion 

 r> 



along the banks of the Waterhen River and about some of the lakes and 

 ponds. Smaller sedge^as very common in small sloughs and pond 

 holes -- it was among the latter that we found the Canvas Back Duck 

 nesting. If you can send me the names of these I should be very 

 thankful to you for I want ot use them in my notes on the region. t 



Sincerely yours, 



Af ,.. : _
