 Dr. Torrey,


 Dear Sir,


 As you kindly requested
 I send a list of [much?] North American
 ferns as I have specimens of.


 The little Allosonis-like fern of
 which you gave me specimens is
 the Onychium deusum of Brackenridge,
 and Hypolepis Californica, (Hooker. Sp. Fil.
 Vol.2. pag. [page] 71-tab 88) is very different
 from one of those I carried to New York
 which is more like Cystopteris fragilis.


 I proceed with the list.


 Gymnogramine triangularis,
 Polypodium vulgare, [B] occidentale, [mitemedium],
 Californicum, [mcanum[, [Phegofitens,[
 [hexagonoptens[, Dryopteris,
 [Stmithioptens Germanica].
 Allosonis gracilis,  andromedifolias,
 [mucrouatus] (miki) atropurpureus.
