Bear Mr. .Ames: 
Thank you very much for the list of 
Salvadorean orchids. I am very glad in¬ 
deed to have this so as to make the list 
of the representatives of the family as 
complete as possible in the publication 
which we are getting ready. I arn hoping 
that Doctor Calderon will soon he able to 
obtain further material of the family. I 
am expecting to sell the duplicates of the 
collection which he has been sending us 
recently, and with the money thus obtained 
he expects to make further explorations in 
certain parts of the country which so far 
have not been exolored botanically. 
Sincerely yours 
Paul C. Standley 
Assistant Curator, 
Division of Plants
