Dear Mr. Schweinfinrth: 
In regard to the photographs of the types 
of Peruvian orchids I am quite as much puzzled as you. The matter, 
I must confess, had escaped my attention, but I remember it well 
enough. 
Some time ago we received from Macbride a very large sending 
of negatives and prints, but I find there are no orchids among 
them." Immediately upon receipt of your letter, I wrote him ask¬ 
ing what had happened. I was under the impression that the or¬ 
chids were being photographed, and it may be that he still has 
the negatives, that is, that the follow the series now here, 
which is continuous and complete so far as it goes. Just as soon 
as I hear from Macbride, I shall write you concerning what he 
may have to say. He is now working at Copenhagen, and is planning 
to go later to Geneva. 
Recently there have accumulated a few new Peruvian orchids, 
chiefly from the Department of Cuzco, that I must send you in 
the near future. Besides, there are a few from British Honduras 
that I should like to have you determine. Prof. Record and I are 
preparing a flora of British Honduras, in fact, the systematic 
part is practically finished. I have listed the pitifully few 
orchids of which we have material or record, and shall send you 
the list for criticism, with the few specimens that are without 
names, if you will be so kind as to examine them. 
S^nperely yours y 
v, YU 
Paul C. Standley. J
