P. S, 
In addition to the aaiqples listed on the aeco^jas^lng sheets 
there are several that I took at the beginning of oar "eaEpedition," 
April 13-15 in Leopoldville, fh^ have there a sraall botanieal 
garden frcsn aSiich, as I recall it, I took several 8 aB 5 >les on or 
aboot April 13. One or two May have been taken from a road side 
ditch near by. fhere are one or p^haps two aa^les that were 
taken frcM the rather foul soil in the open air native Market, 
fids last or these last were taken on the 15th. 
fhe soil sawples are all over at Agriculture and so I aea 
unable to check the labeling on these Leopoldville lots and tl^y 
don*t aeea to have been entered properly in the notebook I kept 
frcsn which the data following the several numbered bags is taken. 
The numbers are not always consecutive because ama other collecting 
intei*vened. 
From the looks of several s»ples I am afraid they have gone 
bad but you will know better when you exaiaine them. Perhaps 1 did 
not sufficiently air dry tiiffis before putting them into plastic 
bags, Waturally I want ^ou to find smething in them, if only to 
bring credit to the ejgsedition. Several members of the party made 
considerable use of an anti-biotic knoian as Aciiromycin to relieve 
attacks of dysenteiy. 
May we have luck with these samples I
