the Balades and to see that all France is not like Paris. I must quit 
ana go to bed, two all night journey-three within 6 days no sleepers, 
of course, has left me with sleep to make up. 1 recall asking you 
what you did evenings when you were in Burope. I planned to study 
language, have Berlitz lessons and do all sorts of things. Why there 
aren't any evenings~I have had to mend my stockings on the train. 
Continued.--!*. Jxgnepaln lets me work till 7, and 1 am shut out an 
hour at noon instead of two bourses I'd been told I'd he. I count on 
going to England next Saturday^using Sunday for the journey. The Lam- 
arck, llichaux. and S.B.K. grasses I am examining before I begin to take 
photographs. This type hunting is sometimes more detective work than 
botany, like finding Hackel's types with labels pasted over the origin- 
al ones, and Mil's erasing a combination he published and writing in 
another. His Paspalum vlrgatum var something I couldn't find, but later 
I feund a *asp dilatatum with that var name, and a collector's number 
I was carrying in mind, Close examination showed a name had been erased 
and -dilatatum" written over. All I could be sure of of the original 
was the loop of the £ below the line, but it must be his var of virga- 
tum. The species is P. Larranagae. Isn't it funny that Vasey did the 
same thing, made larry a var of vlrgatum. when it is so obviously akin 
to dilatatum. 1 have finished the Paris herb B.spalums and went through 
Aristida, looking for A. longispicata Poir., but could not find it. I 
got some fournler types of Aristida for you, though. I looked up some ^ 
of Foumier's mysteries this aftemoo*. Oalamochloa is a sure-enough | 
genus~ne*er saw anything like it . I think it must be nearest Cottea 
but it has an almost simple crowded little panicle. After doing ?asp 
alum in Lamarck. Ricbaux and Fran^ueville herb. I'll use what time is 
left for foumier and H. B. X. are a lot of thungs I have not 
found as yet. I understand better what they mwnint by saying I'd 
>ave a hard time a* Paris. I find other genera in Paspalum and %nicum
