Bryophytes - W.S. Sullivant note dated Jan. 1865: "Six or seven of thse species were published in Hookers Journal of Botany (London) for 1850 p. 317. -- After having worked up a portion of the Hepaticeae of the Expedition I found that with the preparation of the mosses paper and many business engagements I could not find time for the Hepaticae. They were sent to Gottsche some three years since to report upon. Have not since heard from him."
