COPYRIGHTED iaS>0. 
Our Academy expedition, wdicli accompanied Dr. Peary to 
W]iale>s Sound, has brought back a small collection of plants from McCor- 
mick Bay and Disco^. ¥/e have enough to make several sets, a.nd in the 
interest of geo ^ - ogl cal botany, we presume you would lik-.^ to have one 
set, which it would be a great pleasure to us to send you. We have 
some four items, which we cannot positively identify as to the proper 
species. I enclose you them in. this envelope. V/ould you kindly decide 
for us what they ought to be. You may return them, as we shall have 
better specimens for you in the set which v/e propose to set aside. 
Very truly yours.
