Dear Mr. Ferguson,-
I have just been studying your material of Juncus
subcaudatus and it seems to be fairly typical of that species* The two
numbers:, of course, represent plants from different habitats, but I can
get nothing more from them*
Unfortunately all the duplicates of the Ifova Scotia series were distri-
buted years ago, but I have extracted from one of our sheets a bit of
var*. planisepalus which will show you the comparatively broad and flat
sepals which characterise the lova Scotia plant, as against the narrow
and more corrugated ones of the typical plant farther south.
She Investigation of Eleocharis palustris is nearly completed. Most un-
fortunately, Miss Brackett, who was carrying it on with me and/who was
making the drawings, diet, as the result of complications following an
operation for appendicitis in the early summer, and I have not been able *
as yet to catch uj> the threads which were left loose at that time# but
sooner or later shall publish a revision which was written up, though
the plants were not fully illustrated.
You are good enough to ask about my summer* It was very much broken up
but a thoroughly interesting summer chiefly on account of the Internation-
al Congress at Ithaca, which took much of my time,- the first of' the
summer in preparation and later in actually attending the Congress and in
showing ordinary courtesies to the foreign visiters. My own field work
was very slight.	Very sincerely, *5?,
