          species were collected by the expeditions
 or not; the object is to 
 illustrate the country, not merely
 the individual expedition. Of course
 I would not give so great a premium
 to these interrelated species. But
 you will never again have such a chance
 of presenting a great work in Western
 Botany and I would not lose it.


 Take great care however not
 to publish first in these reports any
 [added : new] species first or [?] collected on
 the Mexican Boundary. All of
 these if you want to give them, should
 be made up into a short paper and
 published under name of Mex. Boundary;
 you can then introduce from 
 this in quotation. It would distress
 the Major very much to
 be anticipated.


 Prof. Henry authorizes me to
 send Dr. Darlington half a dozen 
 of his paper.


 Very truly yours
