Boston, Massachusetts. 
Dear Mr. Ames: 
We are forwarding, in a package by mail, 
3 specimens of orchids collected in Brazil by 
Prof. E. W. D. Hclway. These are presumably 
hosts of rusts, and Professor Holway wishes 
the determinations for use in his mycological 
work. If you can supply him with identifications, 
we shall be greatly obliged, and we should be 
glad, also, to have the identifications, since 
we have specimens of tw r o of the collections rep¬ 
resented. The specimens of course need not be 
returned to us. Prof. Holway’s address is Ani¬ 
mal Biology Building, University of Minnesota, 
Minneapolis, Minnesota. 
Very truly yours 
Paul C. Standley 
Assistant Curator, 
Division of Plants
