Dear Mr. Schweinfurth: 
There are not many people that I have 
a chance to impose upon in getting material named, and it 
would be a real pleasure to do so ordinarily, except that 
in your case I feel that I am rather overdoing the matter. 
At any rate, we have, as usual, an accumulation of 
Costa Rican orchids, just how many I donft know, since not 
all are mounted yet, less than a hundred I think, A con¬ 
siderable number of them this time are really good specimens, 
collected by Austin Smith, and of some of them we can send 
you ample and well prepared duplicates. May we send them 
on to you for naming? The Austin Smith numbers come from a 
locality where no collecting has been done previously, but 
they look to me to be not very rare. Most of his other 
specimens are very good, and they include a good many appar¬ 
ently new species.
