          sparingly found within a mile of this
 place, but it rarely blossoms here Helonias
 bullata is met with 2 Miles from
 here, but I obtained only 3 flowering specimens
 this season. Pyxidanthera abounds
 here but is not found much farther North
 that I am aware of Carex flacca (Barrattii)
 is now & then met with, but very much degenerated
 from the elegant form that is
 found near Manchester - Leiophyllum
 is not met with herre at all. The nearest
 point I met with is this Fall was within
 two miles of Manchester - Rhynchospora
 cymosa is found on Commodore Stockton's
 place near Squan 8 miles South of their
 village and a 1/4 of a mill from here
 also 2 miles from here. It is very
 fine & I can send you from 1 - 50 or 
 100 specimens if you wish them?


 I regret to say that I shall not be able
 to send you the Leiophyllum this Fall
 unless some special business should
 throw me into that region some 25 - 30
 miles from here But will try if possible
 to get it in the Spring.


 For any of the Special reports you
 mentioned in your letter you may
 be able to furnish me, I shall be most
 grateful. I live so far from the portals
 of Science that anything that chances
 to fall into my way is snatched up &
 devoured with a gusto -


 I find some very fine fossil teeth
 in our Green Sand or Marl formation.


 Would you like a handful?
