 also Camptosorus under Scolopendrium.]


 Dear Doctor


 I have just looked at your Remarks on Fremont's collection p. [page] 81. 
 towards the bottom of the page, you by some slip have enumerated
 Silene Drummondii, Potentilla gracilis, & Frasera speciosa as 
 alpine plants, which none of them, I suspect properly are. 


 You recollect our looking at Balsam's together, and prefering
 Arnott's explanation to Roeper's or Bernhardi's. Lindley adopted
 Roeper's in Nat. Syst. [Natural System of Botany]. But I just notice that in Bot. Reg. [Edwards's Botanical Register]
 for 1840 he has (under the C. Ind. I. [Impatiens] macrochila given a very
 clear summary of the different theories, and fallen back
 upon Arnott's (which was originally proposed by Kunth,
 and since well confirmed by Presl) as the true one, and says
 it is confirmed by that species, though I see nothing in it more
 than in any other Balsam.


 Solidago Ohioensis grows at Niagara Falls. Macrae! 1843.


 Darlington enquires after you. Wants to know whether you have 
 received the copy of Reliquiae Baldwinianae he sent you. 


 The above are old mem [memoranda]!


 I have just received a long but most spirited letter 
 from Mr. Sullivant, has received the boxes*, and thanks 
 you most warmly for the Muscological matters. 
 Speaks highly of the Mt. [Mount] Marcy Mosses; but above all he 
 found in a bundle mostly rubbish labeled "Princeton" 
 that great quiddity, the Shortia of Muscology, the long-lost
 Campylodontium hypnoides!!!!" He speaks in warm praise


 * "[Lyle?] magnificent boxes full of Muscology" he calls them.
