Dear Sir, 
I wrote to you on 22nd February (my reference 
5 / 36 ) to ask if you would kindly lend certain specimens 
of Ficus from your herbarium. Mr E.J.H.Corner is 
anxious to complete his study of the subgenus Synoecia, 
and we would esteem it a great favour if you could 
.send the specimens as soon as convenient. 
In case my former letter went astray, the 
specimens of the following species were requested 
F.au ra ntiaca Griff, (syn. F.trachycoma Miq.) 
F.callicarpa (only material from India is requested, 
if there is any) 
F.punctata (only specimens from India, Indo-china 
and Borneo are requested). 
F.scratchleyana 
F.singalana . 
Yours faithfully, 
Director of Gardens, S.S. 
Superintendent, 
Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Calcutta, 
INDIA.
