          compare. I want the name you will give to
 it, to name Spalding sets. (A. [?]?)


 I lay them aside to return to you.


 With this last in Spaldings coll. is one without
 fruit, perhaps a var of A. [inserted: Drummondii] [crossed out: Drummondi], but less hairy,
 & shorter calyx-teeth. Canescent ovary. But calyx-teeth
 too short & leaflets too retuse to agree with the
 character of A. [?] Will you compare 
 with [?] & let me know which it
 should be.


 Frem. 153. 1846. = Themopris macrophylla.

 Dear Doctor


 Thanks for yours, which came in
 Thursday. You must have seen Holton soon after you
 despatched it.


 I send this at once. I think I can answer
 nearly all your questions without going to the library, will
 do so on Monday. Cant well get in to-day.


 Of [Lacq?]. Pl. Amer. Pict. I know nothing.
 [Lacq?]. [?] Amer. Hist. I have. You have seen it, and the
 descr. & made figure of Batis it contains. I can send it to you
 if you want it! a folio vol.


 [?] & [?]. [?] are both in College Library. I
 will copy all you want from them, or send the vols. if
 you care for them, to you.


 Martins' conspectus you have, a pamphlet.
 There is no reason to think he knows aught of Batis from
 study of it.


 [Meisner?] is in Library. I presume he gives no reason for placing it
 where he does. His tabular system seldom admits of explanations.
