good success, though many of the fresh water algae I have not yet found.
Have you ever heard of a man, F.H. or I.W. Hall? I have found here a small collection of marine algae collected by him. They are all or nearly all named, and appear to be reliably identified. They are mostly New England species. There is an immense (at least it looks so now) amount of botanical material here to be overhauled for an herbarium.
I shall begin next week to get ready for zoological work. I hope to progress enough so I can do some work on a second paper on the ear of the salamander before college opens. Prof. Kingsley writes me that he thinks my first paper will be printed in the Journal of Morphology.
Will you please tell me the full title of Farlow's recent paper on the host index of American fungi? I forgot to write it down.
Respectfully,
H.W.Norris
