 My dear Mr. Deane 



I am sending you a specimen, a rather poor one I know, 

 but you will doubtless be glad to hare it in your collection. It is a new 

 species of Deanea which I have just described but not yet published. 

 I have also just written up a description of D. pringlei . sent out by Mr. 

 Prlngle in 1901 under no. 8601. We have just sent you volume 9, of the 

 Contributions from the U. S. National Herbarium, Plants of Guam^and volume 

 8, no .4, containing a little paper of raine^will be sent you in a day or two. 

 I hope you will be pleased with these papers. 



Yours very truly, 



C/tssociate Curator, 



Division of Plants.
