Dear Professor Collins 
I have an excellent collection of cryptogams, con- 
sistingof lichens, hepatics and mosses, which I am forced to dispose 
of, both cff\ account of lack of space to house it and lack of time to 
care for it. The collection comprises specimens which have been ac¬ 
cumulated by me for the past fifteen years, andwhich may be indicated 
as follows :
