E— Dr, B. I. Robinson. 
do as you That relievos me of all further responsibility 
as to the collection other thn grasses. It is for this reason 
that I sent you the fourth set and also the most complete of the 
other sets. In this case it will be for you to determine how 
the various groups should be distributed to specialists for 
identification and I think the reports should come to you rather 
than to me. If I had had time to penetrate to the mountainous 
districts of the south, Roraima for instance, the results woald 
have been much more interesting. This, however, was impractice.ble 
with the time and funds at my command. 
I am thinking some of undertaking a similar trip to 
Yenezuela or Colombia the coming winter. It may be too early 
for you to indicate whether you would be in position to con- 
tribute towards such a trip. I shall probably go soon after the 
first of January and remain about four months. TiThat I say now 
ia only tentative as I cannot yet formulate my own plans . I am 
wondering if it will be possible to have as much as $ 500 . each 
from your institution and from the Efw; York Botanical Garden? 
I might be able to provide as much from here. 
Very tiuly yours. 
Systematic Agros tologist.
