Dear Sir: 



Your favor of August 14, together with the samples of grasses 

 which you sent for name, are before me, and in reply I would state 

 that both the grasses are species of Muhlenbergia . No. 1 is 

 Muhlenbergia Mexicana , and No. 2 is doubtless a slender form of 

 Muhlenbergia glomerata . 



If at any time I can aid you in the determination of grasses, 

 it will give me pleasure to do so. 



Yours very truly, 



Agrostologist .
