Dear Collins; 
I'm just running over some 
mail that should have been answered long ago, 
and find your card asking about my habitat 
and geographic distribution. The data are 
as follows: Acting Assistant Professor of 
Botany, University of Michigan. I have 
retained a connection with Washington, 
having been simply "demoted without prejudice" 
to $1 per month. I am acting during the absencj 
of Prof. Hus. If he comes baok when his leave 
is up (three years) I'll go back to Sashington| 
or hunt elsewhere for an opening. 
Still want Polytrichum and Catharinia? 
If you do, let me know, as I'm in a new 
locality and will be glad to gather some . 
Cordially yours.
