TO J.D.HOOKER.

Down, February 9th [1858].
I should be very much obliged for your opinion on the enclosed.

You may remember in the three first volumes tabulated, all orders went right except Labiatae.

By the way, if by any extraordinary chance you have not thrown away the scrap of paper with former results, I wish you would return it, for I have lost my copy, and I shall have all the division to do again; but DO NOT hunt for it, for in any case I should have gone over the calculation again.
Now I have done the three other volumes.

You will see that all species in the six volumes together go right, and likewise all orders in the three last volumes, except Verbenaceae.
