          6.  Scirpus ferruginous.  You say this is not S. puberulos - which I
                                 suspected long ago.  Is it the ferruginous of your Flora?
                                 of [Willd?] [Persoon?] Muhl? or is it Beck's Tricholostylis                   ferruginca?


 7.  [illegible] glomerata.  Not being the fascicularis of the Southern
                                        Botanists, is it the glomerata of your Flora? Beck's?
                    You have also found here, the K. alba, since the catalogue was
                    printed.


 I will now enumerate the plants of the first 4 classes, which we have found, in
 addition to the foregoing, since my catalogue appeared.  If any remark occurs to
 you, in regard to any of them, I should be glad to have it.


 1.  Veronica scintillata. 2. V. hederifolia, 3. Fraxinus[ latifolia?] 4.  Cyperus inflexus
 5. Mariscus ovularis 6.  Spartina cynosuroides 7. Cenchrus echinatus, 
 8. Trichodium laxiflorum 9. T. elatum ? 10. Aostis sylvatica 11. A. sobolifera
 12. A. tenuiflora 13. Polypogon [racemosa?] 14.  [?] 15. Aristida stricta? 16. Phalaris
 americana? 17. 18. Poa trivialis 19. P. elongata? 20. Kohleria trunesta.
 21.  K. pennsylvaniana 22. Elymus villosus, 23. Andropogon virginsus
 24.  Panicum prolifisum. 25. P. clandistimum, 26. P. virgatum. 27.[ Satasia virticullata?]. 28.  A. phragmites. 29. Potamagaton 30. P. parciflorum
 These, I believe, are all that have been added to our list, in those classes.


     I thank you for having sent Dr. Gray's work to Philadelphia
 for me.  I expect to go there in two days from this; I will see
 that Mr. Dobson takes measure to have it paid for, on demand.
 I forgot to tell him, when I was there: but he generally pays for
 all my packages without waiting to be told.  I shall be very
 glad, also, to receive Dr. Gray's other works, referred to, as soon
 as they appear.  When will your Monograph of [Scirpa?] be
 published?  I have received more since Nos. 3 & 4 (in our pamphlet) published
 in 1830.  If there are any later, I should be pleased to have them
 sent on to Mr. Dobson's for me.


     I admit the force of all the objections to the Linnean arrange:
 ment, and believe it will ultimately be superseded by some
 natural one - as Linnaeus himself believed: but, as my little affair
 will be mainly for the use of my juvenile neighbors, I fear the natu:
 ral method, as at present existing would be less acceptable for begin:
 ners - & even repulsive.  I shall, however, look to the natural affinities
 as much as possible, & try to prepare the way for introducing the study
 of them.  If the natural method was only a little better settled,
 or further advanced in the process of [illegible] , which seems to
