acknowledgement from Miss Kinney. [1864.] Dec. 28. Received letter of
acknowledgement from Anna Bliss. [1864.] Dec. 29. Received letter of
acknowledgement from Dr. Allen. [1864.] Dec. 30. Received letter of
acknowledgement from Prof. Porter. He thinks that my Aster longifolius is
Aster ae... (I, probably, sent him Dr. Clarke's A. longifolius from Flint,
Mich.) & writes that my Carex debilis is Carex arctata (in which he is
right, I had confounded the two.) Prof. Ward of the Rochester University
called. He suggests that Charles Wordsworth would, if I personally applied to
him, help the Society to casts, as he did the State Collection. As to the
State Collection, he complains, & says that he hears others complain. 1st.
That the minerals are not cleaned, but are defiled with the dust of years. 2nd. That the fossils are not
labelled. |
