"ftar Sir, 



I Will send yo a some 

 Oosciriodon Raui for compariosn, wit- your specimen and fron your 

 description, I think your Grimmia must be G. calyptrata. That is 

 the only one I k ow that has such a Ion,- awn to the leaf. 

 Is there any description publishe o f H. Ool-yanum ? because if 

 it is simply a name, that, would, account for its not being cited. 

 " hore ans of ''uhlenbergs names in his catalogues which we can- 



not accpet because there was no description published. 

 I h-ve sent for Dixon and Jameson for my ow- use. I w s not at all 

 well all last winter, and summer and had to give up much f my work. 

 I neglected reviewing many articles for the Bulletin, and feel gen- 

 erally guilty and apologetic, but am improving now and trying to gfc 

 caught up. I hitve a lot f Colorado Mosses from ^randegee of which 

 I shall be glad to share with yoy.,and Mr. » lzinger has been work- 

 ing on some collected by himself and Mr. Baker which he is issueing 

 in sets. I have the first bo here now. It is a region -vhifh needs 

 more study and collecting , more t han any othsr oxcept the western 

 Plains( The rc there are none or next to none to collect) 



co. dially yours,
