Dear Sir: 
The Forestry Division is about tc publish a check list of the 
arborescent flora of the United States,giving synonymes of botan¬ 
ical and common names >with indi cations, as tc the local use of the 
latter„ 
Could you kindly assist in determining this last point with 
Reference to your region ? 
If you can do so, I will mail you an enumeration of species, 
with as many of the common names as are known to us. It will then 
be only necessary for you to heck off the names used in your 
Stace or to add any names not in the list,a matter which wilh.net 
Consume much of your valuable time. 
As I wish not to delay the publication,will you kindly reply 
at once,or refer me to some other botanist in your region compe¬ 
tent to assist me ? Of course due credit would be given to con¬ 
tributors
