Dear Dr. Corner, 
Our Professor Dr. Tanaka ordered me writting for your letter 
to take his place. And, for your request to our Professor I will 
send you a specimen sheet of Ficus megacar-pa Merr. (Syn. F. terasoensis 
Bayata) from my own herbarium. This specimen may be mixed in the same 
packings of the dry specimens of Formosan plants which are intending to 
send out soon to your Botanical Garden, Singapore frcm our herbarium 
of Horticultural Institute for exchange. 
I must request a great favour to you for sending me dry specimens 
of the species o f Ficus occurring in your gardens, and especially in your 
neighbouring wild localities. If you want me to exchange with my Taiwan 
(Formosan)-specimens of Ficus , I will gladly send them to you for exchange. 
Yours sincerly.
