Dear Comer, 
I have completed my study of your Magnoliacae 
and shall return your sheets soon. I have made some alterations 
in determination. 
We have 16 named species, all of which I have 
seen with the exception of Talauma sehassa Miq * All species are 
represented in our herbarium with the exception of Talauma 
lanlgera Hook.f . and Pachylamax praecalva Dandy. Could you 
spare us one of your Curtis' sheets of each species ? You have 
5 of Curtis 3018 (T.lanigera) and 8 of Curtis 3012 (P .praecalvo) . 
I have retained your only sheet named T. sebassa 
and shall, with your approval, send it to Dandy at B.M. for 
comparison with the type. At the same time I might send four 
undetermined sheets. 
The most interesting discovery is Michelia Champaea 
wild at Cameron Highlands. I am sending you a duplicate. U- - j
