CHAPTER 1.VI .-- GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION, 1843-1867.
LETTER 313.

TO J.D.HOOKER.

Down, Tuesday [December 12th, 1843].
I am very much obliged to you for your interesting letter.

I have long been very anxious, even for as short a sketch as you have kindly sent me of the botanical geography of the southern hemisphere.

I shall be most curious to see your results in detail.
