Dear Collins:- 
I am again sending you a rather scrappy Pogonatum, but 
this time one that falls in your own baliwick. Although I feel 
reasonably sure of the determination, I will be glad of independent 
judgement from you. The plant surely represents a clear extension 
of range, and I hope I can get Beals to report it. On the same trip 
we found Hookeria acutifolia, a tropical species whose American 
stations seem to be N Car. Tenn. Ga. W Va. western Pa Cal. I enclose 
a bit for you of this also. Credit for both collections belongs to 
^eals, I was not looking for mosses, as we were on a flowering plant 
trip ^or the N.Y.Bot. Garden local flora committee. My part in the 
Hookeria mess was merely to state that I was sure that I had never 
seen anythinglike it and later on to work it out. 
The region around Lyman Viaduct seems good collecting 
ground. I will ask Beals to send in specimens for the N.E, Bot Club 
herbarium, as he has rather more material than I. I apologize for 
rather scanty material in eacn case. 
Cordially yours,
