Providence, ITov. 8, 1908 
Pear Pr. Farlow: 
Please excuse my tardiness in acknowledging 
receipt of your letter inclosing the Sphagnum Pylaiei from Ghocorua. 
Thanh you very much for the same. I have never collected the 
plant myself1 
Am sorry that I cannot help you in regard to the identity of 
the type of the species as Tarns tori’ interprets it. I did not 
know that he out our forms in var. ranosum until your letter came, 
or if I had known it I had forgotten it. 
I have not had a. chance to do any moss work to amount to anything 
since I returned to the city in eptember, and there seems to he 
little prospect of getting a chance much before Christmas, so many 
other tilings have to be done first. 
Very truly yours,
