140I have just bought a herbarium of 500 [?]; belonging to the late Prof. Cassidy of the State Agr. College. It contains a good many of Curtus's specimens and many from Russia, Siberia and other parts of Europe and Asia. I have now more than doubled our herbarium, 1500 specimens in all. We'll get it up to 30,000 yet! The Univ. of Pennsylvania is helping me greatly with Zoological material, which I cannot otherwise easily get. They send an expedition next May to the Bahamas, my old cruising -- ground to collect material and to hunt up relics of the Lucayans, and to follow out Columbus' courses. A number of colleges are joining; unfortunately we cannot spare the money. Can you not send a [?]? I suppose, however, that they have already written to you. I should like very much to pay you a visit again, but I do not see much prospect of it before the summer. I think of going to Minnesota then, and might call on you en route; but it is doubtful if I can go. Palmer, our chemist and I have some thoughts of getting up a Summer School of Science here, for the benefit of the school- teachers especially, and if our plans materialize we may not be able to get away for | 140I have just bought a herbarium of 500 [?]; belonging to the late Prof. Cassidy of the State Agr.
