Dear Mr. Ames: 
We have our customary accumulation of Central 
American orchids—I guess there are 50 or more of them, 
and mostly collected in Costa Rica by Austin Smith. At 
least, they are good specimens, and there are duplicates 
of some of them. We have just purchased some 1600 of 
his specimens, with a goodly number of new records for the 
country. 
If we may impose again upon your kindness, we should 
like very much to have this new material named. If you 
are willing to undertake it, I shall have it sent on before 
I leave for Guatemala, which I hope will be the sixteenth 
of next mototh. 
merely yours, . 
'aul C. Standley.
