Dear Brunton <Carter>,

          I enclose list, giving the results in

naming the specimens of fruits, seeds, etc. 

(35 samples).

          There are five samples which I have not 

succex[?]/<e>ded in identifying, and which I will 

refer to the Herbarium for name, as I have 

spent some time on them, and think that 

they may be more easily deals dealt with 

there, at any rate in the case of three of 

them. They are 614A, 441 etc., 614E, 495 

and 614 H. I will as I also send the Juniper 

berries to the Herbarium for an opinion as 

to whether they are Juniperus phoenicea.

          A report on the specimens referred to

the Herbarium will be sent to you by 

the Director of the R. Bot. Gardens.

          I think you said that the 35/<34> samples need 

not go back to Cairo, and that you would 

be willing to present them to Kew. Is that 

correct? They would, I believe, be kept in
