Description
Eaton has received Hooker's letter of 8 June along with the new part of SPECIES FILICUM, for which he sends his thanks. This summer he has been so busy with teaching and collecting that he has scarcely looked at a fern. He now has a lot of Griffith's ferns to name and distribute among American herbaria and is soon expecting a collection from Central America belonging to the US [United States of America] Government. Eaton would like to publish the names of Wright's Cuban ferns in SILLIMAN'S JOURNAL [OF SCIENCE] for January. He would be grateful if Hooker could give him some remarks on some of Wright's Cuban numbers before November. Eaton has scarcely looked at Pellaea and Pteris in SPECIES FILICUM yet. He fears Hooker has overlooked Kunze's PTERIDOGRAPHIA JAPONICA in Mohl and Schlechtendal's BOTANISCHE ZEITUNG. There he will find Pteris dispar. Eaton has referred some of Wright's Japan and Loo Choo [Ryukyu Islands] specimens to it and asks if Hooker does not think it a good species. His Pellaea mucronata was originally published from Hooker's P. longimucronata only, and that is the only one Eaton's father found in Benicia, San Francisco. Pages 1 and 4 of 4.
