OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, MADISON. 



December 12. 1896. 



My dear Jr. Kennedy :- - 



Your letter of the 22nd was duly received and the or- 

 der for four copies of the Keys transferred to Sec'y K.P.Riley, of the 

 Universi ty ; who is to distribute the copies as soon as ready. I re- 

 gret to say that through the delays in the State printing office it is 

 not likely that the paper will be ready before Jan. 1. It will make a 

 volume of about 200 pages. 



I very much obliged to you indeed for the specimens of Seli- 

 geria calcarea,of which I had before no Ameri can specimens in my her- 

 barium, although it is represented from Europe. In addition to the lo- 

 calities you cite I see that it is credited to Ohio in Rau & Hervey's 

 catalogue, but on what grounds I do not know. 



Cordially y ours,
