          formidable job. 


 I must not forget 
 to tell you that Joe 
 Hooker has very kindly 
 sent me a good parcel
 of plants collected in 
 his Exped. [Expedition], the larger 
 part Van Diemans Land, 
 but a goodly number from
 Cape Horn, Falkland Isd. [Island]
 & other Antarctic lands. 
 Before I glue them down
 I shall select for you such
 duplicates as the parcel
 can be made to furnish. 


 Jour. Bot. [Journal of Botany] from Nov. to
 March inclusive from Sir Wm.
 Your put in the parcel 
 making up for you. 


 I returned your flowers of
 Cocculus, like every other I have 
 anywhere got hold of, they are all male.
