          I scarcely thought a hiatus
 possible - there is a long
 space without a new species -
 is not that all?


 I fear lest I fail to revise
 this much for Pat. but I will
 send it back by him & if it comes
 back next week with the Terminology
 settled I will put
 it strait through. Yesterday
 I swept out 2 rooms at College
 began my [crossed out: carices] [inserted: cyperaceae] & got through
 [Dalichim?]! I am determined
 to push at the Library till
 I have carried the catalogue
 half through & then give all
 the rest of my time to preparing
 for my start.


 But it is after 5 and my
 [Pick?] work is not even begun!x
 6 P.M. Well I have spent just
 an hour on [crossed out: it] [inserted: the [?]] & I do not regret
 it. I only wish I had more time
 to spare. I have made all my corrections


 x I then gave it up entirely & went to the Ferns
