Memorandum for Dr. Wet mo re: 
Your plunder from Beata Island is one of the most re¬ 
markable gatherings that has come to hand for a long time; 
almost everything in it is new and very distinctly so. While 
the affinities are Haitian, this material would indicate that 
the separation of this island from the main island must have 
taken place a long time ago. 
When you have a few leisure moments I would like to have 
you stop in and give any suggestions you may have as to the 
names some of these tilings should bear. I am calling the most 
distinctive species in the group Cepolis wetmorei . Unfortu¬ 
nately there, are only fbur dead specimens of it, but it is 
remarkably distinct. 
Respectfully yours,
