THEA SINENSIS. 26330-343. Fourteen kinds of tea from China. 
Procured by Vice-Consul Nightingale under directions from 
Mr. S. L. Gracey, American Consul at Fuchow, at the sugges- 
tion of Ambassador Rockhill before he left Pekin for St. 
Petersburg. In order to get these rare teas Mr. Nightin- 
gale made a long and difficult trip in boats and on foot 
into the district of the River of the Nine Windings, back 
of Fuchow. He has sent a detailed report of his purchase 
of these teas and the location of the so-called Cliff 
teas for the tea specialtists . For several years Dr. Shep- 
ard of Summerville has attempted to secure these superior 
teas for his collection, but owing to the difficulty en- 
tailed in securing them he has not been successful. These 
were secured especially for him and will be placed in Dr. 
Rodney True ' s hands for the tea experiments he is conduct- 
ing at Summerville. Mr. Nightingale's interesting report 
is at the disposal of those who desire to read it.
