1 have several hundred envelopes of 
unpressed mosses collected mostly in Rhode Island in 
1886, 1892 & 1893, also some collected in southern Somer¬ 
set Co., lie., in 1886. The greater portion of all are 
unnamed. There are guite a number of duplicates (irom 
different stations). I see very littel prospect.of my 
having time to make more than a few of the determinations 
for some time to come, and have decided to turn, a loagB 
portion of them over to some one Use if it can he satis¬ 
factorily arranged. 
'Jould you care to have them or part of then and on 
what conditions (i.e.- if differnent from the usual ones 
in regard to Phanerogams)? 
Yeru fitly
