          above what it would have been. 


 Newberry's coll. [collection] has come, 
 a poor one, very scanty 
 specimens, only 4 or 5 
 things strike me as new
 or curious. He has a 
 little Mohavea, but only 
 in blossom, no fruit
 I shall take little out, 
 will name such things 
 as you would like me to 
 name, & then send all on 
 to you, to name the rest & 
 return to Newberry. 


 I will put my notes on 
 slips of paper, in the sheets 
 with the specimens. Do yours 
 likewise, and out of the notes 
 Newberry can very well do 
 up his report.


 No trees, & hardly any shrubs
