Description

Setchell would like to know if there is a type specimen of Scinaia furcellata, the Ulva furcellata of Turner, in the RBG Kew Herbarium. Mr [Arthur Disbrowe] Cotton could probably find the specimen. Setchell is monographing the genus and he needs to determine exactly the type. He would be grateful for a description and, if a photograph could be made, he would assume the expense. He is sorry he cannot visit Kew at present to make a microscopic examination, but possibly Cotton could make an examination of a small bit and loan his preparation to Setchell. He does not want to ask too much and would simply be glad to learn if the specimen is still in existence. He sends thanks for Prain's past favours. Annotation states report sent with photograph of possible co-type, also Miss [Elsie Maud] Wakefield's account for three shillings. [See also letter at 201/515.] Page 1 of 1.
