My Dear Sir:

Having been out of town mostly all the time I could not send the promised specimens till now. Aristida [basiramer"] I found in your vicinity long before being named by my country man, the late Dr. Engelmann. The locality for [Jester] is the most western one known "Marsilia vestita" I collected at the Yellow Stone Park, but not in Neb. where M.uncinnata is common.
