But whenever you can send in anything, it will he very helpful. 
He neede to get a little ahead, so as to be armed for the summer. 
Can you tell me anything about the so called anastatic process of 
reporducing articles. We have to reprint two of the early issues of h 
the Bryologist soon, and I am casting about for ways and means. 
Stechert writes that the anastatic process will cost about *6.00 per 
signature of 8 pages, for each 100 copies. They say that all line 
drawings will reproduce correctly, but the whole will be a little less 
clear, as if printed from old plates. I still have to get prices 
for regular printing. But I'd like to know more about the thing, first 
The numbers lacking, are vol^ i, M and ii,^l. so there will be but 
little to really reprint. IAd be glad of your advice. 
Also, how much do you think we ought to charge for advertising space in 
the Bryologist ? I have all of it to attend to. 
Thank you for the note about the chestnut in the un- 
per part of Bristol. Who told you, and what did he say ? I'll be 
glad to look the thing up next summer, myself, and hope if you get that 
way you will let me know. Your headquarters will be at ROUND POND. SEE? 
I can probably put you in touch with anything yoti wish down there. 
I enclose a little map, that has been started up for the record 
of the distribution of Maine plants. Dr. Fellows has the plate. Do 
you think it would be worth while for the mosses ? I also send you 
the last Bryologist offering. 
There, this is about all until the next spasm. If you take the 
field soon, let me know when you pass through New York, and welll try 
to see each other. My kindest regards to the folks, 
Coftdially,
