Dear Mr. Collins:- 
I have looked up the mosses which you 
asked about in your note and find all of them 
in the Eaton herbarium except Polytrichum form- 
osum.. So f ar as I oan learn tfce specimens 
which Professor- Eaton at firfet referred to 
this species he afterwards called P. ohioense. 
Under another cover I will send these speci¬ 
mens to you, and also the Connecticut speci¬ 
mens of P. strictum, P. juniperinum and Bux- 
baumia aphylla. 
Have you found any more hepatics in 
Rhode Island lately ? Decoration Day of this 
year I spent, at Newport and in its vicinity 
and was able to add three species to your flora: 
Kant.ia Sullivantii, Lophozia bierenata and Odont 
oschisma prostratum. 
Very truly yours.
