My dear Mr. Dearie: — 



The note in the Vermont 

 Flora, page 106, is nothing but a stupid 

 blunder, resulting from mixing up the two 

 names H. canadense and H. virginicum. I was 

 aware of this soon after the Flora was pub- 

 lished. 



I am having an interesting time stud-y- 

 ing N^cirpus validus and its allies. The two 

 species segregated from it are the common 

 bulX^rushes of Lake Champ lain, covering hund- 

 reds of acres. 



Sincerely y ours,
