          all but complete set of the Greenland species
collected by him.
When I got home, my first desire was to study
my Carices. I began with Kunth - but did not get 
far without finding that he has widely separated spe-
cies that belong together most clearly - (as for in-
stance when he takes C. [crossed out: pa] vaginata from the neighbour-
hood of C. panicea - and C. roundata from that of
C. vesicaria - and then puts these very different spe-
cies together with the fulva group.) and this led
me to try myself to arrange my collection, for 
myself. After 3 months of the hardest work which
I have ever yet encountered - I got as far as I
thought I could gt, + concluded to stop: not be-
cause I was through; but because I could do no
more. For my own gratification I thought I
would have a few copies printed - + I have tried
to put it into Latin.
Whether I have failed throughout, I know not:
I am content with having laboured well and long.
