          and Narthecium Americanum both in fruit


 at Quaker Bridge I collected an hundred
 specimens of Scleria laxa - There are at
 present no specimens of Rhynchospora Torryana
 (small form) to be found here which in 1841
 were so abundant. Schizaea pusilla is still sparingly
 in the original locality on the West side
 of the bridge and I found a few specimens on
 the East side of the creek. - At Atsion the
 Crotonopsis linearis grows in the same locality
 but not as large as I have it from the South
 from this place to Winslow and back to
 Batstow little occured to make the journey
 interesting - The evening of the 3rd day brought
 me to Bridgeport where I searched unsuccessfully
 for Vilfa comprepa but I found Rhexia
 ciliosa and a species of Ludwigia I had not
 before seen - At Wading river Bridge little
 occured to make it worth while to
 stay any time and I made my tracks for
 home with about 1500 good specimens
 which are choice plants and preserved in
 the best order - I returned on Thursday night
 having been absent four days - If Mr George [Schenck?]
 returns on Friday, I will try to send you a
 small parcel -
