Dear Dr.Howe,

I owe you an apology for not having' answered your letter of June
17. I was very busy at that time,and it slipped my mind. Thank you very much
for the specimen of Petrosiphon adhaerens. i am' sorry I cannot give you a
specimen of Antithamnion Butleriae,but I have nothing but the one type spec-
imen, This I enclose for inspection,knowing that you will deal with it tenderly,
You can return it at your convenience. You maybe interested ,:now that
the onlyother bit 1 had of it went to Bornet,to compare with material collected
at Barbadoes by Mile Vickers,and which proved to be exactly the same.

Very Truly,
