Summary:
Has made a 'gymnostomum' of 'Bryum alpinum'. Surprised to hear that Smith had not received the true 'Bryum verticillatum' from himself as he recalls after [James] Dickson had given the public "a very different one for that species" he had sent specimens to Smith, [Samuel] Goodenough and Dickson. Sends several more specimens of 'Bryum'.
