Dear Mr. Schweinfurth: 
Mr. Leonard, at my request, has examined carefully the 
whole series of Oesterreichische Garten-Zeitung. He states 
that he is unable t o find any further descriptions of any 
species of orchids. 
We are very much obliged to you and to Professor Ames 
for forwarding the Lankester Costa Rican specimens, which 
were received yesterday. 
Very
