of Illinois, to compare with those
of our collection. as often it oc
curs that species are confounded
& misnamed.

in addition to the short list for
the Catalogue in the "Transactions"
I would suggest to Mr Robert
Kennicott of West Northfield, Cook

that he might add such as he might
choose, beyond my list, of those
named in the Trans! as well as those
since found in that region
