Summary:
Sending specimens: the 'Agaricus' he promised, agrees it is probably 'Agaricus quercinus' although does not agree well with description of [Jacob Christian ?] Schaeffer in Relham; 'Clavaria' which may be 'Clavaria pistillaris' or 'Clavaria ophioglossoides'; a posible 'Lichen globosus'; a 'Peziza'; and 'Epilobium ramosum' with an epiphyllous 'Lycoperdon' growing on it. Asks for advice on how to stuff birds, for two of his pupils interested in ornithology.
