          out a list of the Marine Shells of our coast, Massachusetts,
 to be appended to the second part of Professors Hitchcocks
 Geological report, which is nearly ready for publication.
 I have also furnished him to aid in making a catalogue of 
 the plants of this state for the same report, a list of plants
 found in this section of the State, principally at New Bedford
 & Nantucket, not included in the 2nd edition of Bigelow's
 Flora Bostoniensis, and to fill up the reminder of this sheet,
 copied might otherwise come in the form of blank paper,
 I will insert here this latter catalogue. I have been
 arranging my dried plants upon Lindley's plan, but this
 comes in the old fashioned order, here they are
