Dear Sir:- 
We have your favor of the 10th inst., advising us that you 
have sent a copy of the Manual, with corrections indicated, and also 
-r-s, 
enclosing the memorandum in regard to the -division of the one for 
Forrest, Field and Garden Botany. 
We shall at once have the corrections made in the plates of the 
manual, and if it is possible to add the four pages of further addi- 
tions and corrections, we shall do that also. The only difficulty is 
that the book now prints in regular forms, and it might break the 
order of printing and necessitate an additional form, to add the pa^s* 
indicated. If the Glossary could be thrown aliead one page, to be- 
gin on page 739 and end on page 748, and then, if, by any possible 
condensation, the List of Orders on pages 736 and 737 could be 
brought down to one page, we could thus gain two pages. Could not 
all the additions and corrections beginning with page 733, be set in 
somewhat smaller type, so as to make these two additional pages an- 
swer for all your needs at the present time? If it is a matter of 
necesaity to have these additions included, and if there are likely 
to be further editions and corrections from time to time, considera- 
bly increasing the pages, we will take the additional space, even at 
the necessity of adding to the number of forms of printing, but if
