Memorandum regarding the distribution of the Killip-Smith 
Colombian Collection. 
In distributing our recent Colombian collection we shall 
follow the general plan for the determination of South American 
groups adopted by Dr. Gleason, Mr. Johnston, and myself at our 
Washington conference. 
On the present trip special effort was made to collee full 
sets, i. e., three of herbaceous plants and four of woody, of 
each number. Naturally there will be a few instances in which 
the material is insufficiaa.6, but I believe the proportion of 
unieates is much smaller than in most col actions. 
The following allotment of groups is drawn up, therefore, ndb 
Sb much for decision as to the disposition of unieates, as for 
knowing which institution xvill be responsible for identificatiaa 
work and will consequently receive the ''best" specimen in cases 
where there is a difference in quality. 
In view of the fact that the Arnojd Arboretum is receifing 
only woody plants special preference will be given that institu. 
tion in the distribution of such material. Similarly, because dt' 
Dr. Britton's particular interest in the flora of the Cartagena 
region preference will be given the New York Botanical Garden % 
in the collections from that area.
