          The impulse given to the two Northern botanists
 by our visit will I hope be felt. - I have no
 doubt that if Vasey & Myself had not visited these
 men the Dracocephalum for one thing at least
 might have remained a plant remembered but
 not an inhabitant of those once favoured regions
 I urged Dr Crane to show me the locality of
 Lycopodium [rupertre?] and where Dracocephalum
 once stood. He did so and whilst securing specimens
 of the Lycopodium he discovered a solitary specimen
 of the Dracocephalum which had disappeared 
 for at least 8 years - We were immediately on
 the track and secured 200 specimens many
 of them not more than 3 or 4 inches tall but 
 a few were found a foot in highth -


 Carex Backii, locality was pointed out to me 
 by Dr. Crane it grew on a piece of waste land
 recently cleared underlaid by an extensive [?]
 of Limestone rock Corydalis aurea grew
 in the same locality in abundance - Carex
 Willdenowii I did not see growing - It was more
 than a mile form the last mentioned locality
 and the sun was now set so that it became
 impractriable to visit the locality on that day
 The Calypso locality was pointed out to me 
 from a distance - Between Dexter and Sacketts
 Harbour in a dense Cedar Swamp - I
 am not aware that I had left C. Meadii
 for you at the Med. Col. - Was it not the
 C. Craneii? - It put me in mind of the plant
 when it was first shown me. - Crane has
 probably informed you before now that he
 has found another new Carex which Dewey
 calls Carex hypostachya - mirabile dictu!!!
