Annual Reports of Academy of 
Manager at Santa Marta, and Senor Jesus Bermudez, Superintend¬ 
ent at Aracataca, assisted our party in every possible way, and by 
its generosity enabled us to carry on work in comfort, which under 
other conditions would have been much more difficult and far less 
satisfactory. His Excellency, Senor Don C. A. Urueta, the Min¬ 
ister of the Republic of Colombia at Washington, most kindly 
assisted in every way possible, and by his intercession secured 
free entry into Colombia of collecting materials used by our party.
