Yarrow on August 7, I917. — The Cannabis and Abutilon fibre 
samples under Nob. 134b and 13 5b were sent to Mr. Dewey for 
Mb specimen files. --The closing paragraph of Mr. Meyer's 
letter of January 15, 1917, reads: 
I have still a few more seeds and 
specimens at hand and they will be forwarded 
within a few days. The large shipment of 
1300 catties of Daridiana peach stones and 
1000 catties of jujubes, for seeds, is still 
awaiting a steamer in Chingwangtau, for on 
account of the very severe winter here, the 
greater part of the Yellow Sea is frozen over 
and in the mouth of the Yang tze kiang there 
is so much floating ice, so as to impede navi- 
gation. This surely is something unheard of. 
On January I6, I917, Mr. Meyer wrote, also from Peking, that 
he was sending via diplomatic pouch one parcel containing 
several small botanical and entomological specimens and the 
following seeds;
