          Some of the bundles of roots are numbered and
nearly all of them have the frond either in a green or
dried and frozen state wound around the roots so that they
may be distinguished from each other. The nos. are thus

[Left column]
No 1 Aspidium cristatum
2 _ Nov. Boracense
3 _ Apslenium angustifolium
4 _ thelypterioides
5 Aspidium Goldieanum
6. Dicksonia pilosiuscula
7. Lycopodium lucidum
8. Equisetum scirpoides]
[to right of the column of itemized plants:
There are a few others
and if Dr. Gray wishes to
send these abroad he
had better unpack them
and label them [over?]
The Numbered bundles are
mostly at the bottom of the [added: box]]
Lycopodium rupestre I have never found. L. [dendroideum?] & complanatum
are in this region but I have not met with them since 
I received your letter Botrychium [virginianum?] & Polypod. calcar.
are here but either very scarce or [frosen?] travelled 3 or 4 miles
to find them but in vain a patch of the latter was
burned over last season, probably destroyed Woodsia obtus
I have found only on rocky side hill Banks of Susquehana
in Tioga Co. & very rare Asplenium Rhizophyllum at
Brownsvill, Jeff. Co Rochester & Carlisle Schoharie Co. A. ebenum
Chenango valley Lower Aquaduct on Erie Canal & same locality
with Woodsia obtusa. If it would be in time I
could probably procure most of them still this Fall
or early in the Spring. Please let me know soon,
and inform Dr. Gray that I want nothing for them
But if he has some few rare Carices for me some
of those mentioned in [added: one] of my last letters they would
be highly acceptable for which I will procure him
any thing within my reach, in the shape of Botany.

Please drop me a line immediately. In haste

Believe me tuly yours,

P. D. Kneiskern

Lake Ontario What is it?]

deliver the box himself or leave it somewhere &
give you notice where.
