Mr. H. Pittler, 
I am asking that five copies of Mrs. Bell's 
paper on Panama be sent to you. 
Ur. Rose was much interested in your 
Rioan cacti and will,I think # writo 
remarks about 
to Brads regarding them. He has no further data re- 
gardingj^inama IT opal ea. 
Upon consulting the Biologia, I find that 
Sutton Hayes collected Gavanillesia platanifolia in 
Panama, his Ho. 23. The specimens are said to hare 
come from "Paraiso and ISrapire Railway—stations". 
Colombia is also mentioned for these species. 
As to the films, I would suggest ths advis 
ability of ordering one-half dosen rolls for your use, 
to be put up in tin tubes at the factory^ as you sug¬ 
gest. If you will let me know how many you wish put 
. • • . * * * » • a * *• i if J i ♦- 
up in this way and will tell me exactly what kind 
you want I will put in your requisition. I would sug¬ 
gest your sending an empty ooverm in order that there

may be no error. 
I will hare a new lot of prints made from 
your Panama films and will send them on as soon as 
they oome to me
