Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Clark, Prof. A. Alfaro, Senor J. C. Zele- 

 don, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Lankester, Senor and Seiiorita 

 Bonnefil, Mr. John M. Keith and the United Fruit Company, 

 all of whom we again thank heartily for their assistance. 



Our appreciation of the kindly and graceful acts of the 

 liberal and enlightened Government of Costa Rica is ex-

 to emphasize it in this place also.
