Nevertheless, I think they ought to be just looked at, under a geographical point of view.
LETTER 318.

TO J.D.HOOKER.

Down, November [1845].
I have just got as far as Lycopodium in your Flora, and, in truth, cannot say enough how much I have been interested in all your scattered remarks.

I am delighted to have in print many of the statements which you made in your letters to me, when we were discussing some of the geographical points.

I can never cease marvelling at the similarity of the Antarctic floras: it is wonderful.
