Dear Mr.Deane 1 — 
'Thanks you for letting me see K.M. a.letter, 
which confirms what I have surmised from M.L.F. It is 
hard to keep things up to date when M.L.J 1 . wants to 
have the last and most correct name used!as I myself do) 
but when that name has not yet been made and it is a 
question as to which one of two will make it first! 
M.L.f. wrote me that both Wiefland and Mackenzie were 
going to make a n. sp.Carex Josselynii(Fernald),but 
which one would get there first was the question.In 
the me antime neither of them seems to have got there! 
And so it goes.But in spite of all things come on well. 
With the exception of two or three small queries I sent 
to y arnald and getting the chapter on the geology and 
the illustrations of alpine plants the MS i s now ready 
to pass in to the B.S. 8.H. for their consideration. I 
shall be glad to get it off my hands,and if the society 
should decide to accept it I hope that it might be pos¬ 
sible for me to get some proofs of it to read at Bandolp 
this summer. But; that is probably hoping too much.
