Dear Dr. Allard: 



Except for the lichens Mr* Leonard has completed the 

 identification of the large lot of Virginia plants, mainly 

 from the Bull Run Mountains, received from you last May, and 

 accessioned at that time. Your catalogue is returned herewith. 

 A representative sefe of the material has been added to the 

 National Herbarium, and the remaining specimens, mostly dupli- 

 cates, have been distributed to the six institutions that 

 received similar material of your first collection, the number 

 now sefci out being as follows: Gray Herbarium, 234 specimens; 

 New York Botanical Garden, 257 specimens; Virginia Polytechnic 

 Institute, 469 specimens; Field Museum, 121 specimens; Missouri 

 B otanical Garden, 122 specimens; Carnegie Museum, 119 specimens. 



Mr. Leonard is in doubt regarding some of his Oar ex identi- 

 fications, and I have asked Dr. Fernald to check these, in going 

 over the Gray Herbarium list. 



With kind regards, 



Yours ve^y traly
